Here’s four ways that compensation agreements can help you. First, make the terms and requirements of the agreement clear in writing, and avoid claims that there’s any oral representations or separate written agreements to the contrary. Second, allow to clearly define the job and project duties, compensation, and allow restrictive covenants that affect when an employee can work after their terminated. Third, explain what material or information is confidential or which prevents solicitation of clients or employees. And fourth, provide for remedies, if one party breaches the agreement. Consult an exceptional business lawyer to learn what language is right for you.
