A new job signifies new beginnings! A new job can mean more money and new opportunities. Employees who are currently in bad job situations, or employees who have been out of work for an extended time, welcome the promises that come with offers for a new job. But even in such situations, employees should not enter into employment contracts without seeking legal guidance.

An employment contract will outline the terms of employment, including pay, benefits, and other obligations owed by both the employee and employer. Employment contracts may also provide details about the reasons that an employee can be terminated. Another important aspect of an employment agreement may be an explanation of the ways that the contract can be terminated, by either the employee or employer, before the specified time period of the agreement has occurred.

If you have a new job and have been presented with an employment contract—CONGRATULATIONS. But before celebrating too much, make sure to contact Rambsy Law to review the contract so that you can be sure to understand your rights and responsibilities. Rambsy Law can also assist with negotiating any other terms that you want included in the employment contract.
