A Massachusetts employment contract is a document that details the rights, responsibilities, and terms that an employee agrees to when they are hired by their employer. The contract will list any benefits that the employee be entitled to, their rate of pay, vacation pay, allowances for personal leave, and any other terms that the employer deems necessary.

’Under Massachusetts law, an employment contract without an expiration date can be terminated “at-will,” which means that the employer can fire the employee at any time without notice (see exceptions here). Nonetheless, it is common for employees to be given a standard two (2) weeks’ termination notice and for the notice requirement to be reflected in the contract.
