FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a written employment agreement?
While not always legally required (many employment relationships are at-will), a written employment agreement is strongly recommended. It clearly defines expectations, compensation, benefits, and protections for both parties. It also helps prevent disputes by documenting what was agreed upon at the start of the relationship.
What is at-will employment?
At-will employment means either the employer or employee can end the employment relationship at any time, for any lawful reason, with or without cause or notice. Most US states default to at-will employment, but some recognize exceptions such as implied contracts, public policy violations, and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
Are non-compete clauses enforceable?
Enforceability varies significantly by state. California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Oklahoma largely prohibit non-competes for employees. Other states enforce them if they are reasonable in duration, geographic scope, and activity restrictions. Our AI tailors non-compete language to your specific state's requirements.
Is this customized to my state's employment laws?
Yes. The generated agreement references your state's specific employment statutes, accounts for at-will exceptions, non-compete enforceability rules, and wage and hour requirements. Our AI is trained on employment laws across all 50 states.
Can I use this for both salaried and hourly employees?
Yes. The questionnaire lets you choose between salary and hourly compensation, and the generated agreement includes appropriate provisions for either arrangement, including overtime considerations for hourly employees under the FLSA.
Should I have a lawyer review this?
We recommend having a qualified employment attorney review any employment agreement before signing. pactdraft.ai generates a comprehensive starting point that covers the provisions an experienced employment lawyer would include, but we are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.
