By executing an agreement, both signatories are given the security of knowing the other party is legally obligated to uphold their end of the contract. The completed contract will include the employee’s duties, obligations, wages, benefits, and employment duration. The employer may also include terms that prohibit the employee from disclosing proprietary information and directly competing with the employer’s business.
