Employment law contracts shouldn’t be left to chance

On Behalf of | Aug 29, 2014 | Employment Contracts |

Employment contracts, including confidentiality or non-compete agreements and severance agreements, are widely used and for good reason. The primary goal of these documents is to protect the rights of both the employer and employee. Florida business owners and employees could greatly benefit from the assistance of a legal professional who is specialized in Florida employment law when creating these important documents, to ensure everything is accounted for and nothing is left to chance.

Employers face a lot of challenges in keeping their businesses protected. There is always the possibility of employees filing complaints or legal claims upon termination, and there may even be a fear of ex-employees sharing company trade secrets. Different contracts can be devised to help with these and other situations, to keep the company secure and help avoid litigation.

Contracts written by employers are generally written to keep the interests of the business in mind. Employees could also benefit from seeking assistance to review employment contracts to ensure their full interests are also being considered. More information about different types of employment contracts and employee rights can be viewed on our Employment Agreements page.

Whether you are a business owner or employee, it is possible to seek legal counsel to assist with Florida employment law contracts. An attorney well-versed in employment agreements can help prepare, review, negotiate and modify employment agreements to ensure both employer and employee rights and interests are considered. Litigating employment contracts is also possible, when needed.
