Missouri Employment Contracts

Employment contract Law, generally


Review this article, and then see the following articles for more specific info:

Non-Compete Agreements and Restrictive Covenants

Severance, Separation, Waiver of Rights Agreements

Contracts for Gurus with special expertise

Physician Contracts

Contract cases are my favorite type of litigation.  The law is generally more favorable to employees than in discrimination law.  The playing field is more equal between employers and employees.  More of these cases will get to trial and not be thrown out by the judge.  If you can get to trial, you have a chance to win.  But if the judge throws it out, it's over.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS & AGREEMENTS
Non-Competes, Including Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreements (also know as "restrictive covenants")

Lawyers and laymen usually lump together as "non-competes" a short list of agreements that often are free-standing contracts.  Below I list each along with a nutshell statement of how enforceable they seem to me to be in Missouri, in general, on a scale from Low to Very High:

1.  Confidentiality Agreements (chance of enforceability = Very High)
2.  Agreements not to solicit Customers (chance of enforceability = High)
3.  Agreements not to solicit Co-Workers (chance of enforceability = Low to Medium)
4.  Agreements not to work in competitive fields (chance of enforceability = Depends too much on the circumstances)

The courts look at each of these types of agreements differently.

If you're presented with a written employment contract, make sure to review it carefully with a lawyer's help.

In some situations, handshake agreements may actually work to the benefit of an employee.  Many of the terms that would be part of the contract are documented in paychecks and company employment manuals.  These manuals typically outline things such as vacations, paid holidays and sick leave.  And there are laws designed to make sure employees are paid for overtime and protected from discrimination on the job.
