At Will Employment

When you write a contract letter, you should include the following: the position title, company name, starting date, employee's status as full-time or part-time, their status as exempt or non-exempt (relating to overtime pay), salary amount, timing of payment, a summary of company benefits, details about paid time off,

If you didn't use a job description, take an hour to sit down and write out the duties you want your employee to perform. Be as specific as possible. The job description also should have included the target wage. You should consider whether or not you are paying a fair rate.

Company Name. Nature of Work: Your duty hours will be 40 hours a week. Salary & Benefits: You will be drawing a salary of $8000 per month. Rules & Regulations: The company expects you to stick to all the rules and regulations effective at the time of your employment.

Theoretically, you don't have to sign an at-will agreementbut most courts have held that your employer can fire (or refuse to hire) you for failing to do so. And, even if you don't sign the agreement, the default rule is that employees work at will.

All business contracts must contain the essential elements of an agreement. The essential elements include consideration, offer and acceptance, a legal purpose, capable parties and mutual assent. Consideration means something of value must be exchanged.

Additionally, as an at-will employee, without any contractual obligation to continue work, you may quit your job for any reason at any time. You cannot be forced to work for an employer and you don't have to give your employer a reason for quitting.
