Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate agreement for seasonal employees?

This agreement can be used for seasonal employees by selecting 'Seasonal' as the employment type and specifying the season's duration. It includes all necessary clauses and can be tailored to the specific position.

Can I include a non-compete clause in my state?

Non-compete clauses are subject to state laws and may not be enforceable in some states. This template includes a non-disclosure and non-solicitation clause, which is generally more enforceable. For a non-compete, we recommend consulting with an attorney.

How do I handle commission pay in the agreement?

The agreement allows you to specify the commission rate and structure. It's important to clearly define how commissions are calculated, when they are earned and paid, and what happens upon termination. This template provides a framework for that.
