EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
An Employment Agreement (or an Employment Contract) is an agreement that is entered into between the employer and the employee, which spells out the duration, terms of employment and the rights & responsibilities of the parties, i.e. the employer and the employee.
Especially from the business point of view, it is pertinent to enter into an Employment Agreement, in order to define the scope of work for the employee and to restrict him/her with the obligations such as confidentiality, exclusivity, indemnification and non-competition.
