Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement - IntraLase Corp. and Kevin Harley

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.

In the event you voluntarily terminate your employment or IntraLase terminates your employment for reasons other than just cause, within the first 12 months of employment, you will be required to reimburse IntraLase, net of tax credits, an amount equal to 1/12 (one-twelfth) of the signing bonus for each month less than the first 12 months of employment.

Information on these plans will be discussed at new hire orientation. You will also be eligible for all other benefits including paid holidays and vacation.


It should be noted, however, that nothing in this letter creates or is intended to create a promise or representation of continued employment with IntraLase Corp. Employment at IntraLase Corp. is at-will, and your at-will status can only be modified in a writing signed by the president of the Company. IntraLase also requires all employment-related disputes to be resolved through binding arbitration.
