Forms for Hiring Employees or Contractors


If you own your own business or work in human resources, you know that hiring employees requires a lot of paperwork.

Whether you hire Salaried Employees, Independent Contractors or short-term Consultants, you should draw up an Employment Agreement Form. Also, all employees should sign provisions for Confidentiality or Nondisclosure to protect your business ideas and practices.

An Employment Agreement or contract with a salaried employee should include the following:

  • General job description and duties
  • Starting salary
  • Pay periods and dates
  • Confidentiality provisions
  • Non-compete clause, if applicable
  • Probationary periods
For Independent Contractors and Consultants, the agreement should include:

Terms (length) of agreement
Fees for services
Time the project or steps of the project should be completed
Confidentiality provisions
Non-compete clause, if applicable
Consequences for breach of contract

At RocketLawyer.com, you will find Employment Agreement legal forms, which include all the above and many more details.
