Do you need to have employment contracts?

New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are at-will employment states and employment contracts are not mandated. However, written employment contracts are useful to specify the exact nature of the relationship, terms and conditions for employment, compensation, and performance expectations.

Reasons to consider an employment contract:

• Determine the duration of the job
• Specify the employer's and employee's responsibilities
• Specify compensation and benefits
• Be clear about the severance package
• Clearly state the grounds for termination
• Non-compete clauses
• Protect manufacturing, licensing, and intellectual secrets
• Specify the ownership of the employee's work efforts
• Specify the process for resolving disputes
• Non-compete and restrictive covenants
