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.

July 1 – September 30

  50%

October 1 – December 31

  75%

 

For purposes of this subsection 5.3(c) only, the amount of Annual Salary used to calculate the Target Bonus Amount shall equal the actual amount of Annual Salary paid or accrued during the calendar year in which termination occurs, plus the total amount of Annual Salary that would have been paid during any portion of such calendar year remaining after the date of Employee’s termination, based on the amount of Executive’s Annual Salary at the time of his termination;

 

(d) an additional three (3) months of Options vesting beyond that which would have vested at the time of termination of employment;

 

(e) earned, accrued and vested benefits and vacation under this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination, subject to the terms of the plans applicable thereto; and

 

(f) reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the effective date of termination.

 

No payment or other consideration under this Section 5.3 shall be paid or given unless Executive executes and does not revoke a release agreement required by IntraLinks at the time of Executive’s termination.

 

This Agreement shall otherwise terminate upon the effective date of the termination of employment and Executive shall have no further rights hereunder.

 

5.4 Termination Due to a Change-of-Control.

the premiums for Executive’s group health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA, if eligible and elected, for a period ending upon the earlier of (A) the end of the period in which Executive is receiving the periodic installments pursuant to subsection (ii) above or (B) the date upon which Executive accepts employment with another employer, provided that Executive executes and does not revoke a release agreement required by IntraLinks at such time. After that date, IntraLinks will allow Executive to continue such coverage at his own expense for the remainder of any COBRA continuation period pursuant to applicable law. Executive agrees to notify IntraLinks immediately upon acceptance of employment with another employer; (iv) a pro rata portion of the Target Bonus Amount with respect to the calendar year in which termination occurs, based on the actual number of days of such year elapsed through the date of termination, and where, for purposes of this clause (iv) only, the amount of Annual Salary used to calculate the Target Bonus Amount equals the actual amount of Annual Salary paid or accrued during the calendar year in which termination occurs, plus the total amount of Annual Salary that would have been paid during any portion of such calendar year remaining after the date of Employee’s termination, based on the amount of Executive’s Annual Salary at the time of his termination; (v) earned, accrued and vested benefits and vacation under this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination, subject to the terms of the plans applicable thereto; and (vi) reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the effective date of termination.

For purposes of this Section 5.4, termination “due to a Change-of-Control” shall include a termination resulting from the resignation of Executive by reason of a material diminution of duties following a Change-of-Control that materially impairs Executive’s ability to perform the duties normally assigned to a person of his title and position at a corporation of the size and nature of the Company.

 

6. Covenants of Executive.

 

6.1 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. As a material inducement to IntraLinks to grant the Options pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof and to enter into this Agreement, Executive hereby expressly agrees to be bound by the following covenants, terms and conditions.

(i) engage in any Competitive Activity, as defined below, within or with respect to any location in the United States or abroad in which Executive performed or directed his services (including but not limited to sales and customer support calls, whether conducted in person, by telephone or online) at any time during the twelve month period immediately preceding the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason (the “Territories”), or assist any other person or organization in engaging in, or preparing to engage in, any Competitive Activity in such Territories;

This subsection 6 (iii) shall be limited to employees and consultants who: (A) are current employees or consultants; or (B) left the employment of IntraLinks or whose provision of services to IntraLinks terminated within the twelve (12) month period prior to Executive’s termination of employment with IntraLinks for any reason; and

(b) Executive agrees that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and justified in light of: (i) the nature of IntraLinks’ business and customers; (ii) the confidential and proprietary information to which Executive has had and will have exposure and access during the course of his employment with IntraLinks; and (iii) the need for the adequate protection of the business and the goodwill of IntraLinks.

(c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Section 6 shall cause IntraLinks immediate, substantial and irreparable harm and therefore, in the event of any such breach, Executive agrees that he or she shall immediately forfeit all Options granted hereunder, vested and unvested, that have not previously been exercised, and in addition to any other remedies which may be available, IntraLinks shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief, without the need to post a bond or other security.
