Quick Facts — Employment Contract Lawyers

What is a Nebraska Employment Contract?

Nebraska employment contracts are legally binding agreement between employers and newly hired employees. An employment contract will address each party’s rights and duties and details important clauses relating to work standards and company policies.

It is common to find the following clauses in a Nebraska employment contract:

  • Job title and responsibilities
  • Compensation
  • Benefits
  • Reasons for termination
  • Company policies

Employment contracts can be used when hiring permanent employees, short-term employees, contractors, sub-contractors, and freelance workers.

Are Employment Contracts Enforceable in Nebraska?

Yes. Employment contracts are enforceable in Nebraska. Nebraska is an “at will” employment state which means that employers can terminate an employee at any time without cause or notice. To overcome the “at-will” employment doctrine, Nebraska enforces employment contracts that protect employees by listing specific reasons for termination.

What Are the Legal Requirements for Nebraska Employment Contracts?

The legal requirements for Nebraska employment contracts mostly follow Nebraska contract laws. Oral employment contracts can be enforced, however; if the terms of the agreement cannot be performed within one year, the agreement must be in writing. For this reason, most employment contracts are written down and signed by both parties.

Restrictive employment contracts like non-compete agreements are not governed by statutes, but by case law. To be legally enforceable, a non-compete agreement must be reasonable, be necessary to protect a legitimate business interest, and cannot harm the public or the employee’s ability to find work.

Types of Nebraska Employment Contracts

Different types of Nebraska employment contracts serve different purposes. The following contract types are commonly used by employers:

  • 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

I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

Lawyer Reviews for Nebraska Employment Contract Projects

Review of employment agreement before accepting job offer

5.0

"I had a great experience working with Randy. I had a long, somewhat aggressive non-competition employer agreement for a job offer that I wanted to take. He reviewed every point of the agreement within the agreed timeline and provided a very detailed and specific report about the various risks and practical effects it could have on my future career. He even offered very reasonable suggestions to the terms to negotiate for before signing the offer letter. I am very pleased with the outcome and it allowed me to sign the job offer without fear of a clause that I didn't understand."

What's termination notice in an employment contract?

I recently accepted a job offer with a new company and I was given an employment contract to sign. I was looking through the contract and noticed that it mentions something about a termination notice. I'm not sure what this means or how it applies to my employment, so I wanted to ask a lawyer to get a better understanding of this clause.

Ryan D.

Answered May 30, 2023

A termination notice is a provision in an employment contract that specifies the amount of notice an employer must give an employee if they wish to terminate the contract, or vice versa if the employee wishes to leave. This is an important clause, as it offers some level of job security for the employee and some level of predictability for the employer. In most states, including North Carolina, employment is considered "at-will" unless there is a contract in place that states otherwise. This means that either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, as long as the reason isn't illegal (like discrimination). If your contract includes a termination notice clause, this "at-will" status is likely modified to some extent. The specific details would depend on the exact wording in your contract. It could require either party to provide a notice (often 2 weeks, 1 month, or sometimes longer) before terminating the contract. That notice period is intended to give the other party time to adjust plans accordingly. For the employee, it might mean finding a new job; for the employer, it might mean finding a replacement.

Can my employer change the terms of my employment contract without my consent?

I have been working for a company for the past three years, and my employment contract clearly outlines my job responsibilities, salary, and benefits. However, recently my employer informed me that they are planning to make changes to my contract, including reducing my salary and removing certain benefits. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether my employer can modify the terms of my contract without my consent.

Merry K.

Answered Jul 22, 2025

I'm sorry to hear about this proposed change. Whether or not your employer can make such changes unilaterally depends almost entirely on how your contract is written. For example, if your contract clearly states that you are an "at will" employee, your employer can not only make whatever changes it wants, but can also discipline you or terminate you with no reason at all and only a one second advance notice. If it's not an "at will" contract, there may be a paragraph or two that addresses amendments to the agreement - eg, some such contracts may say that an employer can make changes with two weeks advance written notice; another may say that changes will be negotiated in advance between employer and employee. You may want to have an employment attorney, such as myself, review your contract as well as any recent correspondence you may have received from your employer. You may also want to try to very quietly try to find out whether or not other employees are possibly in the same boat as you - it's possible that the employer is cutting back on some benefits to save money, rather than laying off or terminating some or all of their employees. Good luck to you - and if you'd like to reach out to me, you can find me through ContractsCounsel.com or on WSBA.org Please be aware that the above information is provided for educational purposes only, and no attorney/client relationship has been formed Merry A.

What's personal leave in an employment contract?

I have recently been offered a job, and the employment contract I have been provided with states that I am entitled to personal leave. I am not sure what this is, or what it entitles me to. I would like to know what rights and responsibilities I have regarding personal leave, and what the employer's expectations are of me with regards to this leave.

Jeffrey K.

Answered Apr 14, 2023

Personal leave sometimes replaces vacation and sick time. Some employers just give employees time off for whatever reason the employee chooses. To know more about the rights and responsibilities, you should speak to HR at your new employer who will help you with the employer's expectations and your rights under the leave provision in your contract. Also, look at your contract as it may provide insight as to how to implement the leave. When in doubt, speak to HR. Thanks.

What's paid time off in an employment contract?

I am a recent college graduate and I am in the process of negotiating an employment contract with a large company. I am trying to make sure I understand the terms of the contract, including the paid time off that is offered. I am hoping to get a better understanding of what's included in the paid time off section of the contract so I can make an informed decision about the offer.

Joseph M.

Answered May 12, 2023

Paid Time Off (PTO) is essentially days (or even hours) that the employee is not required to work but the employer still pays the employee for those hours. It can be awarded in a lump sum in advance, or earned and accumulated over time, dependent on the terms of the employment agreement. PTO may be granted in addition to or in lieu of vacation days, sick days, etc, again depending on the unique employment agreement.

What's the safety policy in an employment contract?

I recently accepted a job offer from a new employer and as part of the employment contract, I need to understand the safety policy in the workplace. I understand that safety policies in the workplace are important for the protection of both employees and employers, but I am not sure of the specific details of the safety policy included in my employment contract. I would like to know what safety policies are included in the contract in order to ensure that I have a safe working environment.
