In essence, an employment contract is an agreement between an employee and an employer. It is also a legal document defining many facets of an employment relationship. More and more businesses in New York have begun to make use of these employment law documents because they protect employers and workers alike. When a well-drafted contract is in place, it can prevent misunderstandings or disputes that may otherwise lead to litigation.
As employment law professionals, we generally approve of fair and balanced written agreements between workers and their superiors. However, we like to caution all involved parties to make certain such documents do not violate anyone's rights. One way to accomplish this is by having the contract reviewed by an employment law attorney.
