An employment agreement can be beneficial to both employees and employers. However, if both parties do not comply with the terms and conditions of employment, you might have a valid breach of contract claim. The Los Angeles employment contract lawyers at Setyan Law can review your work contract and help you understand your rights.
What Is an Employment Contract?
Employment contracts may be made in writing, orally, or they may be implied. They are an agreement detailing terms and conditions of employment. They are typically modifiable upon the agreement of both parties.
Some of the factors commonly covered by employment agreements include the following:
- Responsibilities of the employer and employee
- Ways in which the contract can be terminated
- A non-compete promise by the employee during and after termination of the contract
- A non-disclosure agreement to prevent employees from telling competitors sensitive information
- Benefits that will be received by the employee
- Length of employment
- Compensation to be paid in return for goods or services
In order to be valid, consideration must be paid by the employer in return for the promises of the employee. Consideration is the amount of money or other payment and/or benefits that you receive.

Are Non-Compete Agreements Legal in California?
No. Non-compete agreements are not typically legal in California, with very few exceptions. Employees and independent contractors have a right to work for anyone they wish. If an employer requires you to sign a non-compete agreement, they may be liable for damages since they are impeding your future employment endeavors.
Non-disclosure agreements can be used to protect an employer’s trade secrets, such as recipes, manufacturing processes, research methods, or algorithms. These agreements are often made separately from an employment contract; however, they may be included within one.
It’s important to review your employment contract for specific clauses involving non-compete and non-disclosure agreements to ensure you are aware of your rights and responsibilities.
