 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is
executed as of this (    ) day of (    ), 201(    ), by and between Kohl’s Department Stores, Inc. and Kohl’s Corporation (collectively referred to in this Agreement as
“Company”) and (            ) (“Executive”). 

The Company desires to employ Employee, and Employee desires to be employed by the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 The parties believe it is in their best interests to make provision for certain aspects of their relationship during and
after the period in which Employee is employed by the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and
the mutual agreements and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company and Employee (“Parties”), the Parties agree as
follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 EMPLOYMENT 
 1.1 Term of Employment. The Company employs
Executive, and Executive accepts employment by the Company, for the three (3) year period commencing on (            ) (the “Initial Term”), subject to earlier termination as
hereinafter set forth in Article III, below. This Agreement shall be automatically extended for one (1) day each day during the term (the Initial Term as so extended, the “Renewal Term”) unless either party shall give the
other a written notice of intention not to renew, in which case this Agreement shall terminate as of the end of the Initial Term or said Renewal Term, as applicable or unless this Agreement is earlier terminated as set forth in Article III,
below. If this Agreement is extended, the terms of this Agreement during such Renewal Term shall be the same as the terms in effect immediately prior to such extension (including the early termination provisions set forth in Article III,
below), subject to any such changes or modifications as mutually may be agreed between the Parties as evidenced in a written instrument signed by both the Company and Executive. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any
reason specified in Section 3.1, below, after either party has provided a notice of non-renewal under this Section 1.1, such termination will be treated as a termination under the applicable provision of Section 3.1 and not as a
termination due to non-renewal under this Section 1.1. 
 1.2 Position and Duties. Executive shall be employed in
the position of (            ), and shall be subject to the authority of, and shall report to, the Company’s
(            )and/or Board of Directors (the “Board”). Executive’s duties and responsibilities shall include all those customarily attendant to the position of
(            ) and such other duties and responsibilities as may be assigned from time to time by Employee’s supervisor and/or the Company’s Board. Executive shall devote
Executive’s entire business time, attention and energies exclusively to the business interests of the Company while employed by the Company except as otherwise specifically approved in writing by Employee’s supervisor and/or the
Company’s Board. During the Initial Term and the Renewal Term, Executive may not participate on the board of directors or any similar governing body of any for-profit entity other than the Company, unless first approved by the Company’s
Board. 

  
 1 

 ARTICLE II 
 COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS 
 2.1 Base Salary. During the
Initial Term and the Renewal Term, the Company shall pay Executive an annual base salary as described in Exhibit A (a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein), payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices
and schedule of the Company (“Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as determined by the Board. 
 2.2 Benefit Plans and Fringe Benefits. During the Initial Term and the Renewal Term, Executive will be eligible to participate in the plans, programs and policies including, without limitation,
group medical insurance, fringe benefits, paid vacation, expense reimbursement and incentive pay plans, which the Company makes available to senior executives of the Company in accordance with the eligibility requirements, terms and conditions of
such plans, programs and policies in effect from time to time. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company may amend, modify or terminate any of such plans, programs and policies at any time at its discretion. 

2.3 Equity Plans or Programs. During the Initial Term and the Renewal Term, Executive may be eligible to participate in stock
option, phantom stock, restricted stock or other similar equity incentive plans or programs which the Company may establish from time to time. The terms of any such plans or programs, and Executive’s eligibility to participate in them, shall be
established by the Board at its sole discretion. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company may amend, modify or terminate any of such plans or programs at any time at its discretion. 

In no event will the reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided by the Company pursuant to this Agreement in one taxable year
affect the amount of reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year, nor will Executive’s right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Further, any
reimbursements to be provided by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive no later than the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurs the expenses. 

ARTICLE III 

TERMINATION 
 3.1 Right to Terminate; Automatic Termination. 
 (a) Termination Without
Cause. Subject to Section 3.2, below, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment and all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement at any time and for any reason. 

(b) Termination For Cause. Subject to Section 3.2, below, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment and all
of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement at any time for Cause (defined below) by giving notice to Executive stating the basis for such termination, effective immediately upon giving such notice or at such
other time thereafter as the Company may designate. “Cause” shall mean any of the following: (i) Executive’s continuous failure to substantially perform Executive’s duties after a written demand for substantial performance
is delivered to Executive that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that 

  
 2 

 
Executive has not substantially performed his/her duties, and Executive has failed to demonstrate substantial efforts to resume substantial performance of Executive’s duties on a continuous
basis within sixty (60) calendar days after receiving such demand; (ii) Executive’s violation of a material provision of “Kohl’s Ethical Standards and Responsibilities” which is materially injurious to the Company,
monetarily or otherwise; (iii) any dishonest or fraudulent conduct which results, or is intended to result, in gain to Executive or Executive’s personal enrichment at the expense of the Company; (iv) any material breach of this
Agreement by Executive after a written notice of such breach is delivered to Executive that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that Executive has breached this Agreement, and Executive has failed to cure such breach
within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving such demand; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for breaches of Articles IV, V, VI or VII, below, of this Agreement; or (v) conviction of Executive, after all
applicable rights of appeal have been exhausted or waived, of any crime. Notwithstanding the conviction of a crime as described in the preceding subsection (v), the Board, in its sole discretion, may waive such termination in the event it determines
that such crime does not discredit the Company or is not detrimental to the Company’s reputation or goodwill, and any decision by the Board with respect to such waiver shall be final. 

(c) Termination for Good Reason. Subject to Section 3.2, below, Executive may terminate Executive’s employment and all
of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement at any time for Good Reason (defined below) by giving written notice to the Company stating the basis for such termination, effective immediately upon giving such notice.
“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following: (i) a material reduction in Executive’s status, title, position, responsibilities or Base Salary; (ii) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement; (iii) any
purported termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause which does not comply with the terms of this Agreement; or (iv) a mandatory relocation of Executive’s employment with the Company from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, except
for travel reasonably required in the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities; provided, however, that no termination shall be for Good Reason until Executive has provided the Company with written notice of the conduct alleged to
have caused Good Reason and at least thirty (30) calendar days have elapsed after the Company’s receipt of such written notice from Executive, during which the Company has failed to demonstrate substantial efforts to cure any such alleged
conduct. 
 (d) Termination by Death or Disability. Subject to Section 3.2, below, Executive’s employment
and the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate automatically, effective immediately and without any notice being necessary, upon Executive’s death or a determination of Disability of Executive. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Disability” means the Executive: (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected
to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) has been, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company. A determination
of Disability shall be made by the Company, which may, at its sole discretion, consult with a physician or physicians satisfactory to the Company, and Executive shall cooperate with any efforts to make such determination. Any such
determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Any determination of Disability under this Section 3.1(d) is not intended to alter any benefits any party may 

  
 3 

 
be entitled to receive under any disability insurance policy carried by either the Company or Executive with respect to Executive, which benefits shall be governed solely by the terms of any such
insurance policy. 
 (e) Termination by Resignation. Subject to Section 3.2, below, Executive’s employment and
the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate automatically, effective immediately upon Executive’s provision of written notice to the Company of Executive’s resignation from employment with the Company or at such
other time as may be mutually agreed between the Parties following the provision of such notice. 
 (f) Separation of
Service. A termination of employment under this Agreement shall only occur to the extent Executive has a “separation from service” from Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Under Section 409A, a
“separation from service” occurs when Executive and the Company reasonably anticipate that no further services will be performed by Executive after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services Executive would perform after such
date (whether as an employee or as a consultant) would permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by Executive over the immediately preceding 36-month period. 

3.2 Rights Upon Termination. 
 (a) Termination By Company for Cause, By Executive Other Than For Good Reason or By Executive’s Non-Renewal. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company pursuant to
Section 3.1(b), above, by Executive pursuant to Section 3.1(e), above, or due to non-renewal by Executive pursuant to Section 1.1, above, Executive shall have no further rights against the Company hereunder, except for the right to
receive (i) any unpaid Base Salary with respect to the period prior to the effective date of termination together with payment of any vacation that Executive has accrued but not used through the date of termination;
(ii) reimbursement of expenses to which Executive is entitled under Section 2.2, above; and (iii) Executive’s unpaid bonus, if any, attributable to any complete fiscal year of the Company ended before the date of
termination (in the aggregate, the “Accrued Benefits”). Any such bonus payment shall be made at the same time as any such bonus is paid to other similarly situated executives of the Company. Furthermore, under this Section 3.2(a),
vesting of any Company stock options granted to Executive ceases on the effective date of termination, and any unvested stock options lapse and are forfeited immediately upon the effective date of termination. 

(b) Termination By Company’s Non-Renewal or Due to Executive’s Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated due
to non-renewal by the Company pursuant to Section 1.1, above, or due to Executive’s death pursuant to Section 3.1(d), above, Executive shall have no further rights against the Company hereunder, except for the right to receive
(i) Accrued Benefits; and (ii) a share of any bonus attributable to the fiscal year of the Company during which the effective date of termination occurs determined as follows: the product of (x) the average bonuses paid or payable,
including any amounts that were deferred in respect of the three (3) fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the effective date of termination occurs (the “Recent Average Bonus”) and (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days completed in the fiscal year in which the effective date of termination occurs through the effective date of termination and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365) (the “Pro Rata
Bonus”). Such Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid at 

  
 4 

 
the same time as any such bonuses are paid to other similarly situated executives of the Company. Executive shall also be entitled to a severance payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of
Executive’s Base Salary payable for one (1) year following the effective date of termination pursuant to normal payroll practices. Furthermore, under this Section 3.2(b), vesting of any Company stock options granted to Executive shall
cease on the effective date of termination, and any unvested stock options shall lapse and be forfeited as of such date; provided, however, that if Executive’s termination is due to Executive’s death, all Company stock options granted to
Executive shall immediately vest upon the date of Executive’s death. 
 (c) Termination Due to Disability. If
Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s Disability pursuant to Section 3.1(d), above, Executive shall have no further rights against the Company hereunder, except for the right to receive (i) Accrued Benefits;
(ii) the Pro Rata Bonus; plus; (iii) a Severance Benefit. The Pro Rata Bonus payment shall be made at the same time as any such bonuses are paid to other similarly situated executives of the Company. For purposes of this
Section 3.2(c), “Severance Benefit” means six (6) months of Base Salary, payable in equal installments during the six (6) month period following Executive’s exhaustion of any short-term disability benefits provided by
the Company, in accordance with the normal payroll practices and schedule of the Company. The amount of such Severance Benefit shall be reduced by any compensation (including any payments from the Company or any benefit plans, policies or programs
sponsored by the Company) earned or received by Executive during the six (6) month period following the date of termination and the six (6) month period during which Executive receives the Severance Benefit, and Executive agrees to
reimburse the Company for the amount of any such reduction. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, upon the cessation, if any, of such Disability during the period of the payment of the Severance Benefit, he/she has an obligation to use his/her
reasonable efforts to secure other employment consistent with Executive’s status and experience and that his/her failure to do so, as determined at the sole discretion of the Board, is a breach of this Agreement. Furthermore, under this
Section 3.2(c), vesting of any Company stock options granted to Executive shall cease on the effective date of termination, and any unvested stock options shall lapse and be forfeited as of such date. 

(d) Termination By Company Without Cause or By Executive for Good Reason. 

i. No Change of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company pursuant to
Section 3.1(a), above, or by Executive pursuant to Section 3.1(c), above, and such termination does not occur three (3) months prior to or within one (1) year after the occurrence of a Change of Control (defined below), Executive
shall have no further rights against the Company hereunder, except for the right to receive (A) Accrued Benefits; (B) a Severance Payment (defined below); (C) the Pro Rata Bonus; provided, however, that the Pro Rata Bonus payment
shall be made at the same time as any such bonuses are paid to other similarly situated executives of the Company; (D) outplacement services from an outplacement service company of the Company’s choosing at a cost not to exceed Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00), payable directly to such outplacement service company (“Outplacement Services”); and (E) Health Insurance Continuation (defined below) for a period of two (2) years following the effective date of
Executive’s termination. 
 For purposes of this Section 3.2(d)(i), “Severance Payment” means

Term of this Agreement, but not to exceed two and nine-tenths (2.9) years; plus 

  
 5 

 (y) an amount equal to the average (calculated at the sole discretion of the Company) of the
three (3) most recent annual incentive compensation plan payments, if any, paid to Executive prior to the effective date of termination. 
 The Severance Payment shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum within forty (40) days after the effective date of termination, subject to Section 3.2(e) below. 

Furthermore, under this Section 3.2(d)(i), vesting of any Company stock options granted to Executive prior to the date of termination
shall continue as scheduled until the term of this Agreement expires, after which such vesting ceases and any unvested stock options lapse and are forfeited. 
 ii. Change of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1(a), above, or by the Executive pursuant to Section 3.1(c), above, and such
termination occurs within three (3) months prior to or one (1) year after the occurrence of a Change of Control (defined below), Executive shall have no further rights against the Company hereunder, except for the right to receive
(A) Accrued Benefits; (B) a Severance Payment (defined below); (C) the Pro Rata Bonus; provided, however, that such bonus payments shall be made at the same time as any such bonuses are paid to other similarly situated executives of
the Company; (D) Health Insurance Continuation (defined below) for a period of one (1) year following the effective date of Executive’s termination; and (E) Outplacement Services. 

For purposes of this Section 3.2(d)(ii), “Severance Payment” means an amount equal to the sum of:

 (x) Executive’s Base Salary for the period of time equal to the remainder of the then-current Renewal Term, but not to
exceed two and nine-tenths (2.9) years; plus 
 (y) an amount equal to the average (calculated at the sole discretion of the
Company) of the three (3) most recent annual incentive compensation plan payments, if any, paid to Executive prior to the effective date of termination times the number of years, rounded to the nearest tenth, remaining in the then-current
Renewal Term, but not to exceed two and nine-tenths (2.9). 
 The Severance Payment shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum
within forty (40) days after the effective date of termination, subject to Section 3.2(e) below. 
 Furthermore, under
this Section 3.2(d)(ii), vesting of any Company stock options granted to Executive prior to termination shall occur immediately upon the date of termination. 

iii. Definition – Change of Control. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of (1) the
acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as 

  
 6 

 
amended (“Exchange Act”)), other than the Company, a subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan or plans sponsored by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, directly
or indirectly, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 13d-3) of thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or voting securities representing thirty-three percent
(33%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities ordinarily entitled to vote in the election of directors unless the Incumbent Board (defined below), before such acquisition or within thirty
(30) days thereafter, deems such acquisition not to be a Change of Control; or (2) individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board (as of such date, “Incumbent Board”) ceasing for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of such Board; provided, however, that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date of this Agreement whose election, or nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company, was approved by a vote of at least a
majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be for purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial
assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest which was (or, if threatened, would have been) subject to Exchange Act Rule 14a-12(c); or (3) the consummation of any merger, consolidation or share exchange of
the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger, consolidation or share exchange which results in more than sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of the common stock, and voting securities representing more than sixty
percent (60%) of the combined voting power of then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, of the surviving, consolidated or resulting corporation being then beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by the persons who were the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such transaction, of the Company’s then outstanding Common
Stock or then outstanding voting securities, as the case may be; or (4) the consummation of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

Following the occurrence of an event which is not a Change of Control whereby there is a successor company to the Company,
or if there is no such successor whereby the Company is not the surviving corporation in a merger or consolidation, the surviving corporation or successor holding company (as the case may be), for purposes of this Agreement, shall thereafter be
referred to as the Company. 
 (iv) Definition – Health Insurance Continuation. For purposes of
Sections 3.2(d)(i) and 3.2(d)(ii) above, the term “Health Insurance Continuation” means that, if Executive (and Executive’s eligible dependents), following termination from employment under Sections 3.2(d)(i) and 3.2(d)(ii) above,
timely elects to participate in the Company’s group health insurance plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company will pay the normal monthly employer’s cost of
coverage under the Company’s group health insurance plans for full-time employees toward such COBRA coverage for the specified period of time, if any, set forth in Sections 3.2(d)(i) and 3.2(d)(ii). If the specified period of time provided for
in this Agreement is longer than the end of the 18-month period for which Executive is eligible for COBRA, the Company will, until the end of such longer period, pay the normal monthly employer’s cost of coverage under the Company’s group
health insurance plans to, at its sole discretion, allow 

  
 7 

 
Executive to continue to participate in such plans (if allowed by law and the Company’s policies, plans and programs) or allow Executive to purchase reasonably comparable individual health
insurance coverage through the end of such longer period. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is responsible for paying the balance of any costs not paid for by the Company under this Agreement which are associated with Executive’s
participation in the Company’s health insurance plans or individual health insurance and that Executive’s failure to pay such costs may result in the termination of Executive’s participation in such plans or insurance. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the Company may deduct from any Severance Payment Executive receives pursuant to this Agreement, amounts that Executive is responsible to pay for Health Insurance Continuation. Any Health Insurance Continuation provided
for herein will cease on the date on which Executive becomes eligible for health insurance coverage under another employer’s group health insurance plan, and, within five (5) calendar days of Executive becoming eligible for health
insurance coverage under another employer’s group health insurance plan, Executive agrees to inform the Company of such fact in writing. 
 In no event will the Health Insurance Continuation to be provided by the Company pursuant to this Agreement in one taxable year affect the amount of Health Insurance Continuation to be provided in any
other taxable year, nor will Executive’s right to Health Insurance Continuation be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 (e) Delay of Payments if Required by Section 409A. If amounts paid to Executive pursuant to any Subsection of Section 3.2 would be subject to a penalty under Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code because Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), such payments will be delayed until a date which is six (6) months after Executive’s termination of
employment, at which point any such delayed payments will be paid to Executive in a lump sum. 
 3.3 Return of Records.
Upon termination of employment, for whatever reason, or upon request by the Company at any time, Executive shall immediately return to the Company all documents, records, and materials belonging and/or relating to the Company, and all copies of all
such materials. Upon termination of employment, for whatever reason, or upon request by the Company at any time, Executive further agrees to destroy such records maintained by Executive on Executive’s own computer equipment. 

3.4 Release. As a condition to the receipt of any amounts or benefits after termination of employment for whatever reason,
Executive, or his personal representative, shall be required to execute a written release agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company containing, among other items, a general release of claims against the Company and, as an additional condition
to the receipt of such amounts or benefits, Executive shall refuse to exercise any right to revoke such release agreement during any applicable rescission period. Such written release under this Section 3.4 (A) shall be delivered to
Executive within three (3) business days after the date of termination of Executive’s employment, and (B) must be executed by Executive and the rescission period must expire without revocation of such release within 40 days following
the date of termination of employment or Executive shall forfeit the compensation and benefits provided under this Agreement that are conditioned upon the release. Where any payment or benefit under the Agreement constitutes a nonqualified deferred
compensation arrangement within the meaning of Section 409A 

  
 8 

 
of the Code, to the extent that (i) Executive is not a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and (ii) such payments would otherwise be paid or
provided to Executive within the 40-day period following the date of termination of employment, such payment(s) or benefit(s) shall commence following Executive’s execution of the written release and the expiration of the applicable rescission
period, except where the 40-day period following the date of termination of employment spans two different calendar years, in which case such payment(s) or benefit(s) will not commence until the later calendar year during the 40-day period.

Executive may disclose such terms to such of these individuals who have made such a promise of confidentiality. This provision shall not prevent Executive from disclosing such matters in testifying in any hearing, trial or other legal proceeding

construed in a manner so as to give the maximum valid and enforceable effect to the intent of the Parties expressed therein. 
 8.13 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of the breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either party.
