A Stratford, Connecticut employment contract is an agreement where the employer and employee each intend to legally bind the other to particular conditions in the work relationship. Most Connecticut employment contracts can be negotiable since both parties benefit from a suitable agreement that is unique to their circumstances. Employees with an employment contract specified a time of employment are provided with a guarantee of job security if conditions of the contract are met, and it allows their managers to have some type of control over productivity.

Common Terms in Connecticut Employment Contracts

An employment contract in Connecticut will normally provide for the following terms: job position description, compensation, duration of employment period (or at-will), and grounds for promotion/termination. However, there are also other, less common, clauses that are worthy of notice. First, an arbitration clause requires parties to forego their rights to access the courts for any employment dispute.

Second, the procedures for ending employment can be stated in a "termination clause". Courts may hold an employer who violates such clauses liable for wrongful termination. Additionally, clauses covering confidentiality and non-compete clauses subject all information completed or obtained by employees to specific rules.
