A Nevada employment contract agreement is used by an employer when hiring a new employee to outline the terms of the worker’s employment. The document must describe the specifics of the required work, the duration of time covered by the contract, and the nature of the financial compensation that the employee will receive. The employer may wish to have the employee sign a non-disclosure or non-compete agreement in order to ensure that they will not share confidential information with competing businesses.
