Term of Employment Provision

Sample 1

Company will employ you and you will provide personal services to company from _____________________ to ____________________ (the “contract term”) as and/or perform such other duties as may be required of you by company. You represent that you are not subject to any other employment agreements or other obligations that would prevent you from performing or would interfere with your ability to perform your obligations under this agreement. If you continue as a company employee after the contract term expires, this agreement will continue in full force, except that your employment will then become terminable “at will” by either you or company.

Sample 3
