Employment Contracts
An employment contract is an agreement between an employer and an employee specifying the terms and conditions of employment, including among other things, the following:
- Scope of Services Provided
- Hours
- Wages
- Vacation
- Methods of Payment
- Sick days
- Malpractice Insurance
- Confidentiality
- Benefits
- Grievance Procedures
- Bonuses
- Termination Rights
Many healthcare employment contracts have "no compete" clauses or restrictive covenants that potentially could limit the providers' services both during and following employment. Further, certain employment contracts, including ones that provide for salaries over $500 and those with service terms extending beyond one year, need to be written properly to be enforceable. For these and other reasons, thorough, detailed and comprehensive employment agreements are necessary to protect the rights and remedies of both the employer and employee.
