There
is no law that will tell you
when to ask a new employee to
sign a written employment contract,
nor are there any hard-and-fast
rules. The law does not require
you to make written contracts
with your employees.
Having a written contract benefits
both the employee and the employer
because it makes a clear, definitive
record of what everyone is agreeing
to at the time of the agreement.
These contracts are not just
for executives, though an employment
contract for an executive will
be more complex and detailed
than for a staff employee or
a manager. With a well-written
employment contract, settling
disputes regarding an employment
becomes a much simpler and less
expensive proposition for both
sides.
