Employment Contracts 101
The only thing that can spoil the elation of a fantastic new job offer is knowing that some recruiter just sent you a 15-page doozy of a contract to lull you into a size-8-font-induced stupor.
Let's be honest: Employment Contracts are not exactly gripping page turners. You’ll have to wade through pages of legalese to get to the stuff that matters: Your salary, benefits, vacation, and benefits.
Everything else is boilerplate nonsense, right?
Almost.
Buried in the endless labyrinth of heretofores and notwithstandings, there are a series of clauses that are essential for every woman working in technical jobs to understand and negotiate if they want to have a happy employer-employee relationship.
Talk Outline
This talk will focus on understanding the basics of the employment contracts you sign every time you get a new job. We’ll cover:
- Key elements that make employment contracts legally binding
- Common clauses you can expect to see in an employment contract
- Tricky terms technical women should watch out for
- How to get the most out of your contract review if you work with an employment lawyer
The goal of this talk is to give you the information you need to understand your employment contract & negotiate terms that work for you.
