An Indiana employment contract agreement is a document that assists employers in relaying the terms and conditions of employment when hiring new personnel. A contract agreement outlines the compensation an employee will be given in exchange for their services and specifies the duties they must fulfill in order to satisfy the employer’s demands. The employer may also create clauses that protect them against the unlawful disclosure of confidential information (a “non-disclosure agreement”) or from employees engaging in activity detrimental to the company (a “non-compete agreement”). If an employee agrees to the contract and then violates the terms, they may be subject to termination and even litigation depending on the circumstance.
