Listed below are some common provisions that you will find in standard employment contracts. You should not use any of these provisions without first consulting with a qualified lawyer. Any individual provision may or may not be designed for your protection and may or may not be enforceable in your particular jurisdiction.

The first question you should ask is whether or not you should be entering into an employment contract with any employee. Even that question should be answered only after consultation with a qualified employment lawyer.
