Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement - BroadVision Inc. and Alex Kormushoff

Employment Forms

  • Employment Agreement. Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
  • Consulting Agreement. Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
  • Commission Agreement. Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
  • Executive Employment Agreement. Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
  • Sales Representative Contract. Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

As a SVP reporting directly to me, you will work from our facility in Itasca.

 

Your starting salary will be $16,666 per month, paid on a semi-monthly basis, which would be an annualized rate of $200,000 per year. You are also eligible to receive a bonus of 45% of your base salary once the Company meets the sustained profitability threshold, and you have met   individual performance targets.  Your signing bonus will be $25,000 to be paid out over the next four quarters.

 

In addition to the above, you will be recommended to a grant of an option to purchase 65,000 post split shares of BroadVision common stock at a fair market value to be determined at the next meeting of the option committee.  The options vest over four years:  twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares will vest after the first year of employment and the balance over the remaining three years on a monthly basis (2.083% of the original grant amount per month).

 

You will be eligible for the standard BroadVision employee benefits which include: medical, dental, vision, and prescription package, long-term disability insurance, group life insurance, participation in our 401(k) Savings Plan, participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and two weeks paid vacation your first year of employment (vacation is based on length of service).
