Gloucester County Employment Agreements Attorneys

When someone is hired as an employee for a company, whether large or small, that employee is often required to sign one or more employment agreements. Having an experienced employment agreement attorney to review is always best. These agreements can cover a wide range of terms regarding your employment with the company, including the duration of your employment; the conditions of your employment; both you and your employer’s duties and responsibilities; company rules and policy; and more, which is why you must be very careful when reading over, and signing, these agreements, for if you violate them, there is a very good chance that you will be subject to serious penalties.

Types of Employment Agreements

There are various types of employment agreements that employees, as well as their employers, may be required to sign and abide by. Some of the most common types of employment agreements are as follows:

Non-Compete Agreements

Essentially, in certain professions involving more specialized work, there are times where employers require their employees to sign non-compete agreements. These agreements state that the employee may not leave his or her current job for another job in the same, or a largely similar field for a certain period of time. This is generally the case when a certain business has a trade secret or strategy that must be protected, and if an employee learned that secret or strategy and quit, he or she could then apply that strategy to a competing company in the field. Signing such an agreement should prevent that from happening.

Severance Agreements

In many cases, when someone is laid off from a job, their employer will offer a severance package. The purpose of such an agreement is to provide the employee with a financial cushion for a certain amount of weeks or months so the employee does not have to worry about funds running out while looking for a new job. That being said, there are various stipulations sometimes included in these agreements, which is why it is critical that you speak with an experienced New Jersey employment law attorney who can review this document with you before you sign it.

Non-Disclosure Agreements

Non-disclosure agreements are typically required by employers who have various trade secrets, personal client information, information about new products/services, sales/marketing plans, or other critical information that is not available to the public. Your employer may ask you to sign such an agreement if you are either a new hire or were recently promoted and will be exposed to confidential information. Also, you should ensure that the penalties for violating the agreement are explicitly included in the agreement before signing.
