A Connecticut employment contract agreement is a written document negotiated by an employer and an employee to define the terms of an employment. The terms and conditions included in this agreement become legally binding once both parties inscribe their signatures. The provisions therein typically outline aspects of the employee’s employment such as income, benefits, vacation days, period of employment, grounds for termination, and other such clauses. An employment contract can be beneficial to both parties, protecting the employee from at-will termination and safeguarding the employer’s trade secrets.
