Employment agreements favoring the employer impose structure on the employment relationship empowering employer discretion over the scope of employment, ownership of intellectual property rights and minimizing employer obligations. Such agreements dictate employee reporting, work schedules, location and application of employer policies. The term of the relationship is typically subject to termination with notice, as well as cancellation for cause. Salary increases and bonus are subject to employer discretion. All intellectual property rights including patent, copyright, trademark and trade secrets are assigned to employer. Employee pirating is prohibited. Noncompete and customer solicitation restrictions are as broad as allowed by law. Employee indemnifies employer against third-party infringement, and offers certifications and warranties as an inducement to obtaining employment.
