Overview
This next session in our ongoing Employment Agreement webinar series will cover everything you need to know about some lesser discussed (but incredibly important) clauses, offering a practical look at how those contract terms can create risk—and opportunity—for employers. With employment laws continuing to evolve and courts taking a closer look at the enforceability of key provisions, understanding how to draft clear, compliant, and defensible clauses has never been more important. We’ll explore the essential components that shape an effective agreement and provide actionable insights that can help organizations significantly reduce litigation exposure and strengthen their employment practices.
Format
This session will take participants through contract clauses that may not always be top of mind, but can cause challenges for employers, breaking down their purpose, pitfalls, and best practice drafting strategies. Topics will include:
- Resignation clauses and related penalties
- How and when to reference specific benefit-related terms
- Probation period clauses and what employers need to consider
- New ESA information disclosure requirements
- Clauses addressing hybrid work arrangements
Audience and Learning Objectives
This session is designed for in‑house counsel, human resources professionals, and anyone involved in drafting or updating employment agreements within their organization. Attendees who regularly navigate issues such as benefits, hybrid work, and resignations will benefit from clear, practical guidance grounded in current legal requirements.
