Employment Contracts

Every employee has a contract.  If not in writing, then it consists of all the promises, whether express or implied, exchanged between the employer and the employee.

That fact alone should make every employer think carefully about its employment contracts.  Yet many employers hire employees using form contracts from other employers or boilerplate stock found on the Internet.  Still others use no written contract at all.

At BurnsBarton we believe that these important contracts require and deserve careful preparation because human capital is critical to the success of every organization.  We take pride in preparing employment contracts that both protect the employer and entice and motivate great employees.  We can help our clients prepare written employment contracts for all levels of employees, from the at-will laborer, to the highly paid executive. We have simple forms that can be efficiently modified and tailored to meet the needs of our clients.  Putting it down in writing eliminates the uncertainty that comes when contracts are implied.
