An Oregon employment contract establishes the relationship between an employer and an employee and outlines certain policies and guidelines of the workplace. Providing employment contracts to employees isn’t legally required, but having one in place will validate an employee’s position and ensure the rights and responsibilities of both parties are clearly defined and understood. This document includes terms such as the employee’s position, their duties, the employment period, their wages, and any time-off they may receive. There are also important provisions that cover disability, confidentiality, non-compete, and appearance (punctuality).
