What is an Idaho Employment Contract?
An Idaho employment contract is a legally binding contract entered into by an employer and a party that the employer is paying for services. Typically, the party performing the work is an employee, but can also be an independent contractor, subcontractor, or freelance worker.
An employment contract outlines the terms and conditions of the business relationship including important issues like:
- Title and job duties
- Compensation and pay schedule
- Benefits
- Causes for termination
- Restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-disclosure, etc.)
Are Employment Contracts Enforceable in Idaho?
Yes. Employment contracts are enforceable in Idaho. Unlike other states, Idaho has relatively relaxed laws surrounding the enforcement of employment contracts, including restrictive contracts like non-competition agreements.
In Idaho, any valid contract will be enforced. As long as an employment contract or a non-compete contract follow the contract laws found in the Idaho Code, it is legally enforceable.
What Are the Legal Requirements for Idaho Employment Contracts?
The legal requirements surrounding employment contracts in Idaho are lenient and employment contracts can come in many forms.
- Written contract. Usually titled “Employment Contract”, this form is most often used for highly paid professional employees. Written contracts include all necessary terms and conditions and are signed by both parties.
- Emails, letters, miscellaneous written documents. Any documents or correspondence that involve discussions of a new employment relationship and include mutual promises and assent can be legally enforceable employment contracts.
- Employee handbooks. Many employee handbooks contain clauses regarding disciplinary actions or an employer’s ability to terminate employees. This language often creates a contractual right of employment.
Types of Idaho Employment Contracts
There are several types of employment contracts that you may see in Alabama. These include:
- Permanent employment contract. Used by a company to hire a permanent employee with regular hours and an hourly wage or salary
- Non-disclosure agreement (NDA). A restrictive contract that prevents the employee from releasing valuable information about the business
- Non-compete agreement. Protects the employer by limiting the employee from working for competitors or creating a competing business

In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

What's intellectual property in an employment contract?
I recently accepted a job offer that contained an employment contract. The contract states that I will not use any intellectual property of the company without prior written consent. I am unsure what exactly constitutes as intellectual property and would like to get a better understanding of the definition of intellectual property in the context of an employment contract.
Russell M.
Your Agreement may contain a definition like this: “Intellectual Property” means recognized protectable rights and interests such as: patents (whether or not issued), copyrights, trademarks, service marks, applications for any of the foregoing, inventions, Confidential Information, trade secrets, trade dress, domain names, logos, insignia, color combinations, slogans, moral rights, right of publicity, author’s rights, contract and licensing rights, works, mask works, industrial design rights, rights of priority, know how, design flows, methodologies, devices business processes, developments, innovations. But a few of these are going to be most likely available to you. Internal company know-how or “ how we do things here that help us succeed”. Note the words “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information is another defined term which includes customer and employee information, pricing and business strategy and plans, among others.

Do I have to provide my employees with a paycheck stub?
We find employee pay stubs laying around in the warehouse and left in company vehicles
Diane D.
Florida doesn't require employers to provide a pay stub with a paycheck, nor do they have to offer them in electronic format. Pay stub legislation in Florida instead defaults to federal laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

What's probationary period in an employment contract?
I am a recent college graduate who recently accepted a job offer from a company. As part of the offer, I was asked to sign an employment contract. I understand that the contract includes a probationary period, but I'm not sure what that entails. I would like to know what the probationary period is and what it means for me as an employee.
Diane D.
A period of time to evaluate you and to show that you're a good fit for the job and that you are fully qualified for it. At the end of the probationary period, they will either keep you on or terminate you.

What should be included in my employment contract?

I was recently let go after complaining about discrimination and targeted. I was termed with a severance package. I want to know if I can renegotiate the severance.
Can I get more on my severance since I was let go after complaining about discrimination to my employer?
Donya G.
That sounds like it would depend on the reasons you were given for being let go. Did you document your grievances in an email or where they just done by word of mouth? You should consult with a GA attorney that specializes in employment law to assit. All the best Donya Gordon
