Employment Contracts

Most states have adopted “at will” employment policies which allow employers to terminate employees without having to show cause and allow workers to leave without being tied to a contract. Even though many states have such policies in effect, contracts between employers and employees are still common in most workplaces.

If you are an employer looking to draw up an employment contract, employee handbook, or policy manual, it is often wise to consult an experienced business lawyer to make sure all policies comply with state and federal employment laws. The Austin business lawyers of Slater Kennon & Jameson, LLP are here to help you with your legal documents and other business needs. Contact us at 512-472-2431 today.

  • Handbooks outlining health benefits, grievance procedures, non-compete clauses

If you need assistance with the creation of employment contracts or other workplace contracts, it is wise to consult an experienced business attorney.
