Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement - Intelligroup Inc. and Nicholas Visco

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.

      6.1 Term of Employment/Termination. The term of Employee's employment with
          ------------------------------
the Company shall be at-will ("Term of  Employment").  Therefore,  in accordance
with the  provisions  of  paragraphs  6.2 and 6.3 below,  both  Employee and the
Company retain the absolute  right to terminate  their  employment  relationship
with or without "Cause" (as defined paragraph 6.3.1 below) at any time,  subject
only to a requirement that the party  terminating this agreement  provide thirty
(30)  days  notice  prior  to the  effective  date of such  termination,  or the
employment  relationship  can be terminated  because of the  "Disability" of the
Employee (as set forth in paragraph 6.4 below),  or the employment  relationship
may be terminated by the death of the Employee.  This Agreement  shall remain in
effect until it has been  terminated  by either of the parties  pursuant to this
provision.

      6.2  Termination For Any Reason         Upon termination of the employment
           -------------------------------
relationship  with  or  without  Cause,  or  because  of the  Disability  of the
Employee, or because of the death of the Employee, the Company shall be released
from any and all  further  obligations  under this  Agreement,  except  that the
Company  shall be  obligated  to pay  Employee,  or his  estate,  his salary and
benefits owing to Employee through the effective date of termination.  Employee,
or his  estate,  shall  also  be  entitled  to  any  reimbursement  owed  him in
accordance with Article 5. Employee's  obligations  under Article 7, 8 and 11 of
this Agreement shall survive the termination of the employment relationship, and
shall continue pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      6.3  Termination By Company Without Cause   If the Company  terminates the
           ------------------------------------
employment relationship without Cause, in addition to the notice period provided
for in  paragraph  6.1 and the benefits  provided  for in  paragraph  6.2, for a
period of six months from the date of termination, Employee shall be entitled to
(a) the continuation of Employee's base salary as of the date of termination and
reimbursement  of COBRA  payments,  and (b) a pro-rata bonus payment (based upon
(i) the then current salary of the Employee, (ii) the bonus percentage stated in
the Job Offer  Letter (or any  renewals or  amendments  thereof),  and (iii) the
ratio of the number of months of the  current  fiscal  year prior to the date of
termination  divided by 12)  (cumulatively,  the  "Severance  Pay").  Should the
Employee become  otherwise  employed during said six month period,  then for the
balance of the six month  period,  the Company will reduce the Severance Pay due
from the date of such  employment  forward,  by the difference  between the base
salary then being  received by the Employee,  if less than his base salary as of
the date of  termination,  and his base salary as of the date of termination (as
compared on a pay-period by pay-period basis).  Notwithstanding  the above, this
adjustment  shall  not  result  in a  reduction  of more  than the  base  salary
component of the remaining Severance Pay.

            of this Employment Agreement by the Employee,  provided the Employee
            is given reasonable notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure such
            breach  if the  breach  is of a  nature  amenable  to cure  within a
            reasonable time without prejudice to the Company's interests.

                              (ii)  Gross  misconduct  as  an  Employee  of  the

            property of the Company;  any attempt to obtain any personal  profit
            from any  transaction  in which the Employee has an interest that is
            adverse to the  Company  or any  breach of the duty of  loyalty  and
            fidelity  to the  Company;  or any  other  act  or  omission  of the
            Employee  which  substantially  impairs  the  Company's  ability  to

                              (v) Acts of dishonesty  or moral  turpitude by the
            Employee that are materially detrimental to the Company or any other
            act or omission  which subjects the Company or any of its affiliates
            to public  disrespect,  scandal,  or  ridicule,  or that  causes the
            Company to be in violation of governmental regulations that subjects
            the Company either to be sanctioned by governmental  authority or to
            civil liability to its Employees or third parties.

      6.4  Disability. In the event that the Employee shall be unable to perform
           ----------
duties hereunder for a period of ninety (90) consecutive calendar days by reason
of  disability  as a result of  illness,  accident  or other  physical or mental
incapacity or disability,  the Company may, in its discretion, by giving written
notice to the Employee, terminate the Employee's employment hereunder as long as
the Employee is still disabled on the effective date of such termination.

any time by mutual agreement of the Employee and the Company.
