​

Employment Contract

A contract is basically an exchange of promises between an employee and an employer that are legally binding. Employment contracts are used to mandate the specific terms and conditions the employee must agree to if they decide to accept the position.

In the process of agreeing to the terms of employment, you should always consider the consequences should the relationship goes sour. Many employers may insert restrictive clauses, such as monitoring policies or non-competes clauses, that can severely impair employees' freedom. On the other hand, a carelessly produced contract may leave your business open to hostile work environment.

Remember that not all contracts and agreements are in writing, and orally made promises can be legally binding, though more difficult to prove.

Having a professional legal advocate in any contractual matter is crucial. With years of experience, Park & Park can protect your business or employee rights from settling the difference in a costly litigation.

Employee Handbook

Creating a well-crafted employee handbook not only provides guidelines for employees, but also protects your business should the employee-to-employer relationship deteriorates. All worker relationships are unpredictable in nature, and we advise that you carefully review the handbook to make sure your business is covered from all angles.
