What is an Individual Employment Agreement?

An individual employment agreement is a legal contract between and employee and an employer that governs the business relationship between the two parties. This agreement is intended to reduce confusion between the parties regarding the roles, duties, and responsibilties of each. Consequently, the verbiage in the agreement speaks toward items like compensation, pay frequency, personnel policies, and more.

The importance of employment contract agreements is that both parties are in agreement regarding an employment offer. This reduces the changes of legal disputes later in the relationship. In the event that a legal complaint arises, the individual employment agreement is used to deternine whether a claim is unlawful or not.
