A Wisconsin employment contract agreement is a document that regulates the working conditions conceived by an employer for an employee. When hiring a new employee, an employer can implement a contract agreement to set forth their policies and to define how the individual will be compensated for the services they render. Employers should be sure to specify the individual’s wage (including commission and bonuses), the frequency of payments, their operating schedule, and the employment period. Other provisions may be added to protect the employer’s confidential information or to ensure that employees refrain from engaging in business activity with other companies while under contract. Employees that violate the agreement may be subject to litigation and the reimbursement of legal fees.
