An employment contract contains terms and conditions, as well as the rights and responsibilities of the employee constituted within the firm. The contract should be made available for a discussion before any endorsement is made.
An employment contract is an agreement between a worker and an employer which is signed upon its acceptance. It displays the set of employee rights as part of the staff’s entitlements, as well as the corresponding responsibilities to be performed once work has commenced. It should be noted that every employee has the right to be given sufficient time to review the contract before agreeing on the terms being offered.
Attorneys can help both employers and employees with issues pertaining to different aspects of employment contracts. For employers, attorneys are available should any employment disputes arise. Such issues can impact decisions pertaining to dismissals, classifications, and more. As for employees, an attorney would come in handy should you discover that you are deprived of any employment benefits that you had initially agreed upon with your employer.
Typically, an employment contract comprises an employee’s compensation, benefits, bonus, job position, responsibilities, and termination/resignation clauses.
Most employment contracts state that employers are free to terminate an employment at any time provided that there are valid reasons. Otherwise employers are required to give the employee a notice period.
Employees are advised to discuss with their employers regarding any missing terms or clauses before signing any agreement.
It simply means that the employee needs to agree on the policy terms in that separate document on top of the original employment contract.
It is highly advisable for an employee to seek clarifications regarding any terms or clauses that are not fully understood to avoid future disputes.

Sheila represented me in two relatively complicated employment litigation matters, both of which resulted in favorable outcomes for me. Sheila impressed me as knowledgeable, accessible, diligent, and exceedingly professional. Her excellent “bedside manner” helped to minimize stress that I know is somewhat inevitable in litigation. I highly recommend Sheila to prospective clients wholeheartedly and without reservation.
I retained the services of Sheila O’Shea-Criscione to represent me against harassment and discrimination in my place of work. She came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Sheila directed me to the right course of action, clearly explaining each step and expected outcome. She was consistently available via phone, email, or text for emotional and professional support. Sheila is an excellent attorney and a warm, kind person. In the midst of a difficult situation, she paved the way to a successful outcome. I am a stronger and more confident person thanks to Sheila!
Sincerely,
Marie Coschigano
After numerous harassment and bullying encounter with my superiors, I was desperate for guidance and help as to what my legal rights were to try and put a stop to this behavior.
I turned to a number of attorneys. After talking on the phone, all declined to take my case. Sheila was the only one who took my call and then invited me to her office to explain my situation, from that first meeting until she resolved the case, she guided and supported me. She was never tired of my phone calls and text messages. There were times when I was on the verge of resigning, but she encouraged me and told me to hang in there and be patient. She was convinced of a positive outcome if we stuck with her “game plan” even when I became skeptical and began to doubt the direction we were going.
If you should ever need legal assistance, I highly recommend Sheila – a great lawyer and a wonderful person.
