• Employee

When To Use

For use as a complete employment agreement including both (i) compensation-related terms and conditions, and (ii) intellectual property ownership and confidentiality provisions.

Employment may be for an indefinite term and terminable at any time for any reason ("at will" employment), or for a specific term and terminable only for cause.

This is a complete agreement in traditional legal contract format that includes intellectual property ownership and confidentiality provisions.

For an agreement that is in letter format, see our Employment Offer Letter (W/O IP-Confidentiality) which is intended for use in tandem with a separate Intellectual Property Ownership And Confidentiality Contract.
