Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement [Amendment No. 2] - TMP Worldwide Inc. and Andrew J. McKelvey

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.

                        follows:

                        (i)   In the event that the Earnings Per Share (as

                              Internal Projections for that year by 20% or more
                              but less than 50%, then Employee shall be entitled
                              to a bonus of 20% of the Base Salary; and

                        (iii) In the event that the Earnings Per Share of the
                              Company for a particular calendar year exceed the
                              Internal Projections for that year by 50% or more

            earnings per share determined in accordance with generally accepted
            accounting principles, exclusive of the after tax effects of merger
            costs.

            later than 90 days after the end of calendar year to which it
            relates. For any periods at less than a full calendar year of the
            Employment Period, the bonus shall be prorated on the basis of
            internal projections for the shorter period as well as the Base
            Salary paid during such shorter period as determined by the Board on
            its reasonable discretion."

            Agreement, is hereby ratified and confirmed and remains in full
            force and effect.
