A Utah employment contract agreement is a document that states an employer’s terms and conditions to potential employees. Employment contracts are essential to the working relationship of both parties as they must agree upon the compensation offered to the employee for the duties they perform. The contract also provides clarity into the schedule, or “employment period,” in which the designated duties must be executed. Through the completion of the agreement, the employer protects their assets and removes themselves from certain liabilities in the event of a legal claim filed against them by an employee.
