An Ohio employment contract agreement provides an employer with the ability to specify the conditions of employment for a position offered to another party. By drafting an employment contract, the employer is able to solidify the working relationship between them and the individual performing the requested service. Included in the document are articles outlining the individual’s salary, responsibilities, ownership interest, benefits, and other aspects crucial to the employer-employee relationship. Not only does the agreement set forth the employer’s terms, but it also shields them from certain liabilities should the employee violate the contract or initiate a legal claim against them.
