California Employment Contracts

Instant Access

The promises contained in an employment contract represent all the promises made; it cannot subsequently be alleged there were additional verbal promises of increases in salary, promotion, or other changes in responsibilities.

Expenses, benefits, and future considerations can be set out in writing so it is clear to both employer and employee from the beginning.

We offer you these attorney-drafted employment contracts:
