An Idaho employment contract agreement is a formal written arrangement negotiated between two parties in order to establish an employment relationship. A contract sets forth specific terms/provisions that outline what is expected from the employee regarding their duties and responsibilities and what is expected from the employer regarding payment, benefits, and termination. A termination clause can be one of the main benefits for the employee as they often prohibit the employer from terminating employment at any given time without reasonable cause. An employment agreement may also include non-confidentiality and non-disclosure clauses to protect the employer’s proprietary information and business interests.
