The text discusses contracts in Chapter 4. Although Ohio is an “at-will” employment state (discussed earlier on page 29 of the text), you have recently been hired and your employer wants you to draft your own employment agreement. Research employment agreements/contracts online to guide you in developing your employment agreement at your new fictional dream job.
Be sure to address all of the following in your proposed employment agreement:
Who is the fictional employer and address? (also list your real name and a fictional address)
What is the fictional dream job?
How long is the employment agreement for?
Is the employment agreement renewable; How so? (*If not still address this)
What is your position in the company going to be?
What are your job duties?
How many hours a week will you work?
How will you be compensated?
How will you be compensated for vacation and sick leave?
Do you receive any benefits (health insurance/retirement)? (*If not still address this)
When and how can either party terminate the agreement?
This should not look like a letter, and you should not simply hand in a boilerplate contract from the internet–be sure to personalize your contract including the info/provisions above! Email me if you have any questions. This is a creative learning assignment and researching and using examples online will help you!
