Most employees in Utah are at-will and do not have employment contracts. But for key personnel — executives, key salespeople, professionals with specialized knowledge — an employment contract can define the terms of employment, provide job security that attracts top talent, and include enforceable protections like non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions. We draft and enforce employment contracts for Utah businesses.
Key Employment Contract Provisions
A well-drafted employment contract covers: compensation structure (salary, bonuses, equity), term of employment and termination rights, performance standards and review process, benefits and perquisites, restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality), and dispute resolution provisions. Each provision must be carefully balanced to attract the employee while protecting the business.
Enforcing Employment Contracts
When an employer or employee breaches an employment contract, both parties have legal remedies. We represent employers seeking to enforce restrictive covenants and termination provisions, and employees whose contractual compensation or termination rights have been violated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an employment contract eliminate at-will employment?
Yes, if it specifies a term of employment or requires "cause" for termination. Many employers prefer to preserve at-will status while providing other contractual protections (compensation, non-compete, confidentiality). We draft contracts that balance employee security with employer flexibility.
