What to Include

An addendum should be used whenever a party wishes to clarify a section within an agreement. When drafting the addendum, the following items need to be addressed:

  • Match the addendum’s font size and style to that of the original contract.
  • Include the names of all parties included in the employment contract.
  • Include the effective date of the employment contract.
  • Add the date the addendum will take effect.
  • Clearly break down all additions being made to the contract. If the additions are being made to specific clauses, the original clause title should be mentioned. For example:
    • “EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. In addition to the benefits established on Page 1 of the original agreement, the Employee shall be eligible to receive Health Insurance and up to twenty (20) paid days off in a given calendar year.”
  • Include a clause that points to the parties’ unanimous agreement to the changes outlined in the form.
  • Provide space for the employer and employee’s signature, printed name, and titles.

Addendum vs. Amendment

  • An addendum is for expanding upon information in a contract. It does not reverse or modify anything already included in the original agreement.
  • An amendment alters one (1) or more existing clauses in an active employment contract.
