The employment agreement (EA) contract template is an important tool for both employers and employees. It outlines the terms and conditions of employment, which can help to ensure that both parties are on the same page and can help to prevent misunderstandings. This section will explain everything you need to know about EA form templates from creating new templates to publishing templates, as well as how to manage country section form templates.

1. What Are EA Contract Templates

An employment contract is an agreement that covers the working relationship between a company and an employee. It allows both parties to clearly understand their obligations and the terms of employment.

More specifically, an employment contract can include:

• Salary or wages: Contracts will itemize the salary, wage, or commission that has been agreed upon.
• Schedule: In some cases, an employment contract will include the days and hours an employee is expected to work.
• Duration of employment: An employment contract will specify the length of time the employee agrees to work for the company. In some cases, this might be an ongoing period of time. In other cases, it might be an agreement set for a specific duration. At other times a minimum duration is laid out, with the possibility of extending that period.
• General responsibilities: Contracts can list the various duties and tasks a worker will be expected to fulfill while employed.
• Confidentiality: Although you may have to sign a separate non-disclosure agreement, some contracts include a statement about confidentiality.
• Communications: If an employee's role involves handling social media, websites, or email, a contract might state that the company retains ownership and control of all communications.
• Benefits: A contract should lay out all promised benefits, including (but not limited to): health insurance, 401k, vacation time, and any other perks that are part of the employment.
• Future competition: Sometimes, a contract will include a noncompete agreement or noncompete clause (NCC). This is an agreement stating that, upon leaving the company, the employee will not enter into jobs that will put them in competition with the company. Often, an employee will have to sign a separate NCC, but it might also be included in the employment contract.
