The New Hampshire employment contract agreement can be used to assist employers in establishing a working arrangement between them and an individual hired to fulfill a duty. The contract informs the hired party of their role within the company and specifies the responsibilities they must undertake in order to achieve the designated salary and other benefits provided by the employer (commissions, bonuses, health care, travel expenses, etc.). Outlining employment conditions in a binding contract agreement relieves the employer from liability in the event that an employee neglects their responsibilities or breaches a provision of the contract.
