Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement [Amendment] - Albertson's Inc. and Lawrence A. Johnston

Employment Forms

  • Employment Contract. 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.

               the Executive's  then primary  residence in Boise,  Idaho ("Boise
               Residence"),  provided the  Executive is unable,  notwithstanding
               his reasonable  efforts,  to sell the Boise Residence on his own.
               "Reasonable  efforts" shall include  listing the Boise  Residence

               be the  Executive's  initial  investment in the Boise  Residence,
               plus the cost of any  improvement  made  thereto.  The  Executive
               shall  provide  documentation   reasonably  satisfactory  to  the
               Company  evidencing  his  initial  investment  in and the cost of
               improvements to the Boise Residence.  In addition to the purchase
               price,  the  Company  shall  pay all  reasonable  closing  costs,
               including real estate commissions, if any.
