Employment contract

Drafting employment contracts

The individual employment contract is an essential tool that governs the legal subordination relationship between you and your employee.

It notably provides for the following elements:

• Purpose of the contract (position held, duties, responsibilities);
• Duration (indefinite or fixed-term);
• Obligations of the employer and employee during employment;
• Confidentiality;
• If necessary, non-competition and non-solicitation;
• End of employment.

Each element provided for (or missing from) the employment contract can have a significant impact on the employment relationship, both during the contract and at its termination.

Complete and precise drafting can help avoid legal problems in the event of a dispute or disagreement about the employment relationship.
