Employment Contracts

 

Both written words and oral promises must be chosen carefully to avoid creating either actual or implied employment contracts during the hiring process. Employee lawsuits can erupt when managers make promises in an interview that can't be kept, create job offer letters that leave no room for flexibility, or inadvertently oversell the potential for monetary rewards creating an implied employment contract.
