In Towson, Maryland, an employment contract is agreement between an employer and employee which legally binds them to conditions stated in the work relationship. Maryland contracts are generally negotiable since both employer and employee benefit from an agreement that is tailored to their individual work setting. An employment contract for a set period provides the employee with a guarantee of job security if the conditions are met, and it further allows employers some measure of direct control over employee productivity.

Common Terms in Maryland Employment Contracts

The majority of employment contracts in the state of Maryland include the following: salary or wages, job descriptions, length of employment (if any - most are at will), and termination/advancement grounds. Contracts might also contain less commonly used clauses. First, arbitration clauses require parties to give up their rights to sue in court for any type of employment dispute.

Additionally, termination or severance clauses detail the procedure for ending employment. Courts have held that when an employer violates these in firing an employee, the employee may sue for wrongful termination. Additionally, non-compete clauses and confidentiality clauses make the information or work obtained or completed by contract employees subject to certain rules.
