Common Terms in Nebraska Employment Contracts

Other clauses that are less common might also be contained in the contract. These might include: first, an arbitration clause stating that the parties may not sue should a dispute arise regarding the employment

Second, the contract can contain a termination clause, also known as a "severance clause".
