Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement - Cerner Corp. and Glenn Tobin

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.

                    CERNER ASSOCIATE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


This   Cerner  Associate  Employment  Agreement  describes  the  formal
employment relationship between

                             Glenn Tobin, Ph.D.
                             ------------------
                                  ASSOCIATE

                                     and

               and Cerner Corporation, a Delaware corporation

This Agreement is effective on the 15th day of  April, 1998.

1.   CERNER'S LETTER OFFERING EMPLOYMENT TO YOU.
     ------------------------------------------

     At  the time you accepted employment with Cerner, you received  an
     offer  letter  outlining or confirming the specifics  of  Cerner's
     offer  of  employment to you.  The position, terms,  compensation,
     benefits  and other provisions of that offer letter represent  the
     initial conditions of your Cerner employment.  The offer letter is
     incorporated into this Agreement as Attachment I.  Any  amendments
     or  changes to the offer letter are included as part of Attachment
     II to this Agreement, and supersede the terms in the offer letter.

2.   EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP.
     -----------------------

     A.  Formation.  By  signing  this  Agreement,  you  represent that
         ---------
         every  material fact contained in your resume and  application
         for employment with Cerner is true and accurate to the best of
         your  knowledge and belief.  You also agree that falsification
         of  your  resume  or  application  is  grounds  for  immediate
         discharge.

     B.  Type.   To  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  your  employment
         ----
         relationship  with Cerner is "at will", which means  that  you
         may resign from Cerner at any time, for any reason, or for  no
         reason at all, and without advance notice (except as described
         below).   It  also  means  that  Cerner  may  terminate   your
         employment  at any time, for any legally permitted reason,  or
         for no reason at all, and without advance notice.

     C.  Resignation and Termination.  You   agree   to cooperate  with
         ---------------------------
         Cerner  by  participating fully in an exit  interview  in  the
         event  you  leave  the employ of Cerner.  You  agree  to  give
         Cerner  written  notice  of  your  intention  to  resign  from
         employment at least ten (10) business days prior to  the  last
         day   you  intend  to  work  at  Cerner.   To  facilitate  the
         provisions of paragraphs 7 and 8 of this agreement,  you  also
         agree  to  report to Cerner, in conjunction with your  written
         notice  of intent, the identity of your new employer (if  any)
         and  the  nature  of your proposed duties for  that  employer.
         Cerner, however, reserves the right either to accelerate  your
         intended effective termination date to an earlier actual  date
         or to allow your intended effective termination date to stand.

         If you resign, however, with fewer than ten (10) business days
         notice,  or  if you actually  leave  Cerner's  employ prior to
         expiration of the ten business days notice period and  without
         the  permission of Cerner, then you agree that (to the  extent
         permitted by law)no vacation pay, salary or other compensation

                                        1
<PAGE>

         otherwise due, from the date of your resignation  notice until
         the time of your approved effective termination date, will  be
         owed or paid to you by Cerner.

         If   Cerner  terminates  your   employment  (and   unless  the
         termination  was due to your dishonesty, illegal  conduct,  or
         breach of Cerner's policy or this Agreement), Cerner will  pay
         you a  minimum  of  six(6) months severance pay (based on your
         annualized base salary amount at the time of  your involuntary
         termination), less appropriate payroll deductions, payable  on
         Cerner's  regular  paydays.  In  addition, at  Cerner's   sole
         discretion  and  option, Cerner  may  increase  the  severance
         period beyond the minimum six (6) month period  at the rate of
         two (2) additional months for each one (1)month  that you  are
         employed by Cerner, up to a maximum duration (the original six
         (6)  month  period  plus any extension) of two (2) years.  You
         understand and agree that the election by Cerner to extend the
         period of your severance compensation will  also   extend  the
         period  of  time  of  your non-competition  obligations  under
         Paragraph 7.  Cerner  agrees to notify  you  of  its  election
         to extend the time of your severance  and your non-competition
         obligations  within  thirty  (30)  days  of  your  last day of
         employment at Cerner.  You also understand and  agree that, at
         Cerner's sole  discretion and option, Cerner may elect to make
         any  severance payment, or any  part  thereof, in  a  lump sum
         payment as opposed to making such payment on Cerner's  regular
         paydays.  Any such lump sum payment  shall have no effect upon
         your   obligations   to   comply   with   your non-competition
         obligations under Paragraph 7.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         it is  not the  intent of  either of  us that you continue  to
         receive any severance payments (if applicable)  after you have
         accepted other  employment after leaving Cerner.  You agree to
         immediately notify Cerner if you accept other employment during
         the severance and non competition period provided for by  this
         Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 7.  Cerner's obligations to make any
         further  severance  payments hereunder shall immediately cease
         upon your commencement of employment with a new employer,  but
         your obligations of non-competition under Paragraph  7   shall
         continue pursuant to such terms.

         If you voluntarily resign and give proper notice  as  outlined
         above   and   Cerner  elects  to  accelerate  your   effective
         termination  date to a date less than two (2) weeks  from  the
         date  of  your notice, Cerner will continue to pay  your  base
         salary through the remainder of such two (2) week period.

         In the event your voluntary or involuntary termination  occurs
         during a performance period associated with a documented bonus
         or incentive compensation plan, any final payments to you as a
         result  of your  participation in such plan will be determined
         by the documented procedures of the plan.

         If Cerner has reimbursed you for certain costs associated with
         any relocation which may be required as a prerequisite to your
         being  hired   into   a  position  with   Cerner,   all   such
         reimbursements shall be made according to  Cerner's  published
         relocation expense reimbursement policy.  Such  reimbursements
         will  be made in consideration for your agreement to serve  in
         the  position for which you were relocated for  at  least  two
         years.  Therefore, in the event Cerner has reimbursed you  for
         any relocation expenses or otherwise paid to you any  sums  of
         money pursuant to Cerner's relocation policy, you  agree  that
         you shall repay such sums to Cerner on a prorated basis if (i)
         you voluntarily resign from employment with Cerner within  two
         (2) years  of  the date your move is complete or  (ii)  Cerner
         terminates your  employment due to  your  dishonesty,  illegal
         conduct, or  breach of Cerner policy or this Agreement  within
         two (2) years of the date your move is complete.

         In  the  event  Cerner  terminates   your  employment,  Cerner
         reserves  the  right  to  set  the  effective  date  of   such
         termination.  Upon your resignation or the termination of your
         employment,  you  agree  to  promptly  execute  a  Termination
         Statement in the form of Attachment III.

     D.  SALES ASSOCIATE PROVISIONS.  If  you  are  employed  by Cerner
         --------------------------
         in  a  sales  capacity, additional provisions incorporated  as
         Attachment  IV  to  this  Agreement  are  applicable  to  your
         employment relationship.

3.   AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE OR TO USE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
     ------------------------------------------------------------

     You  agree  that you will forever maintain the confidentiality  of
     Confidential  Information.  You will never  disclose  Confidential
     Information except to persons who have both the right and need  to
     know  it,  and  then

                                       2
<PAGE>

     only for the purpose and in the course of performing Cerner duties,
     or of permitting or  assisting  in  the authorized  use  of  Cerner
     products and services.  In the event your  employment  with  Cerner
     terminates(voluntarily or involuntarily), you will promptly deliver
     to Cerner all Confidential Information.

4.   NON-CERNER EMPLOYMENT.
     ---------------------

     Except for those part-time associates, hired to work less than  40
     hours   per   week,   employment  at   Cerner   is   a   full-time
     responsibility.   As  a  full-time  associate,  it   is   Cerner's
     expectation that you devote your full time and attention  to  meet
     your  Cerner responsibilities and that you will not engage in  any
     other  employment activities which would detract from or  conflict
     with your ability to carry out your duties at Cerner.  If you  are
     a  part-time associate, it is Cerner's expectation that  you  will
     not  engage in other employment activities that would detract from
     or  conflict with your ability to carry out your part-time  duties
     at Cerner.

5.   NEW PRODUCTS AND IDEAS.
     ----------------------

     With  respect to New Products and Ideas that you develop,  author,
     or   conceive  while  employed  at  Cerner,  plus  for  one   year
     thereafter,  you  agree  to  keep accurate,  complete  and  timely
     records of such New Products and Ideas, and will promptly disclose
     and  fully  describe  such New Products and Ideas  in  writing  to
     Cerner.

     You  agree  to  assign  and  transfer to Cerner,  without  further
     consideration, your entire right, title and interest in and to all
     such  New Products and Ideas.  You waive any and all moral  rights
     which you otherwise would have in any New Products and Ideas.

     You  agree  to  execute promptly at Cerner's  expense,  a  written
     assignment  of title to Cerner, and all letters (and  applications
     for  letters) of patent and copyright, in all countries,  for  any
     New  Products or Ideas required to be assigned by this  Agreement.
     You also agree to assist Cerner or its nominee in every reasonable
     way (at Cerner's request and expense, but at no charge to Cerner),
     both  during  and  after  your time of employment  at  Cerner,  in
     vesting and defending title to the New Products and Ideas  in  and
     for Cerner, in any and all countries, including the obtainment and
     preservation  of  patents, copyrights,  trade  secrets  and  other
     proprietary rights.

     This  Section does not apply to your new products and ideas  which
     do  not  relate directly to the business of Cerner, and which  are
     developed entirely on your own time.

6.   PRIOR INVENTIONS.
     ----------------

     Any  and all patented and unpatented inventions, new products  and
     ideas  which  you  made  prior to your employment  by  Cerner  are
     excluded  from  the scope of this Agreement and are documented  on

         employment, that this Employment Agreement exists.

     B.  (i)  For  a  period  of  two (2)  years  after  the  voluntary

         or this  Agreement or, (ii) in  the  event  Cerner  terminates
         your  employment  (unless  the  termination  was  due  to your
         dishonesty, illegal  conduct  or  breach of Cerner's policy or
         this Agreement), for the period you are paid severance pursuant
         to  Paragraph 2 (including  any  time that you would have been
         paid severance pursuant to Paragraph 2 but for  the  fact  you
         commenced  employment with  a  new  employer),  you  will  not
         provide services  directly  or  indirectly  related  to   your
         employment  at  Cerner to any Conflicting Organization in  the

         interest.  However,  you may accept employment  with  a  large
         Conflicting Organization whose business  is  diversified,  and
         with a  portion  of  its business that is  not  a  Conflicting
         Organization,  provided   that     Cerner,     prior  to  your

                                        3

         acceptance of such  employment, shall receive separate written
         assurances   satisfactory  to  Cerner  from  such  Conflicting

         directly  or  indirectly  in  connection  with any Conflicting
         Product.

         involuntary  termination of your employment with  Cerner,  you
         agree  not,  on behalf of yourself or on behalf of  any  other
         person,  entity,  or  organization,  to  employ,  solicit  for
         employment, or otherwise seek to employ or retain  any  Cerner
         associate  or  employee, or any employee of  a  Cerner  client
         company,  or  in  any  way  assist  or  facilitate  any   such
         employment, solicitation, or retention effort.

     property  and  equipment  to  help  you  carry  out  your   Cerner
     responsibilities.  When such property or equipment is issued,  you
     will  formally  acknowledge  receipt  of  it  and  will  take  all
     reasonable  precautions  and actions necessary  to  safeguard  and
     maintain  it in normal operating condition.  You further agree  to
     accept financial responsibility for damage or wear to the property
     and  equipment you are issued beyond that associated  with  normal
     business  use.   You will notify Cerner immediately  of  any  such
     damage  or  loss.  If your employment with Cerner terminates,  you
     will immediately return to Cerner all property and equipment which
     you have been issued or which otherwise  belongs to Cerner.

     confidential information belonging to any previous employer or  to
     others.

13.  REMEDIES.
     --------

     By  signing this Agreement, you agree that the promises  you  have
     made in it are of a special nature, and that any breach, violation
     or  evasion by you of the terms of this Agreement will  result  in
     immediate  and  irreparable harm to Cerner.  It  will  also  cause
     damage  to Cerner in amounts difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly,
     Cerner  shall  be  entitled  to the  remedies  of  injunction  and
     specific  performance, as well as to all other legal and equitable
     remedies which may be available to Cerner.

     This  Agreement may not be modified in any respect,  except  by  a
     written agreement executed by you and Cerner.  However, Cerner may
     from  time  to time publish and adopt supplementary policies  with

     that such supplementary policies shall be binding upon you.

16.  NOTICES.
     -------

     Any notice required or permitted to be given pursuant to the terms
