What employment-contract-templates does

This skill covers offer letters, employment contracts, employee handbooks, NDAs, non-compete agreements, HR policies, and onboarding documents. It helps standardize employment paperwork across recurring hiring tasks. The document type follows the stage and purpose of the relationship.

The material includes templates, drafting patterns, and checks for at-will versus contract employment, employee versus contractor status, full-time versus part-time work, exempt versus non-exempt roles, and jurisdiction-specific requirements. Read references/details.md when you need the full templates and worked examples.

Legal counsel should review every document before use. Install this skill if you prepare employment paperwork repeatedly; skip it when a jurisdiction-specific legal review is not available.

What it helps with

  • draft an employment agreement for a new hire
  • write an offer letter from role details
  • prepare an NDA before granting access
  • standardize an employee handbook or HR policy

Example prompts for the agent

  • “Draft an employment contract for this hire and account for the stated jurisdiction.”
  • “Write an offer letter from this job description and compensation summary.”
  • “Read `references/details.md` and prepare an NDA for onboarding.”

## Core Concepts

### 1. Employment Document Types
