Sample Business Contracts

Offer Letter - Spansion Inc. and Bertrand Cambou

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.

Dear Bertrand,

 

I am pleased to extend you this offer of employment to join Spansion, Inc. Please see below of an outline of your compensation and benefits package:

 

Base Salary – Your initial bi-weekly base salary will be $17,952.12 which is equal to $466,755.12 on an annual basis. Spansion has 26 pay periods per year.

 

Bonus – You will continue your participation in Spansion's Corporate Incentive Plan (VPIP) with a short-term component target of 50% of base pay and a maximum of 150% of base pay.

 

Spansion makes available the same comprehensive benefits program available through AMD; including medical, dental, life and disability insurance coverage, 401(k) retirement savings plan with matching contributions, cash and deferred profit sharing plans, a payroll deduction stock investment plan, and a paid sabbatical after seven years of employment. The only current difference between AMD and Spansion benefits involves taxation under the stock purchase plan.

 

As a current employee of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., you will be eligible for bridging your AMD and Spansion service for purposes of stock option vesting continuity (if applicable), profit sharing eligibility, continuing sabbatical (or recognition trip) and vacation accrual. With respect to your current -accrued unused vacation, that time will transfer with you to Spansion. In addition, your current elections under AMD's benefits programs (e.g. health and welfare insurance coverage, 401k contributions, flexibility account contributions, and stock purchase plan contributions, etc.) will move with you to Spansion.

 

Benefits and Perquisites – Advanced Micro Devices makes available to employees a comprehensive benefits program including medical and dental coverage, cash and deferred profit sharing, salary investment and payroll deduction stock investment plans, and a paid sabbatical after seven years of employment. Questions about these plans will be discussed in your new employee orientation.

 

Spansion also makes available to our Vice Presidents, a broad range of benefits and executive perquisites including disability insurance and a $2,000 monthly company car allowance. You will be taxed on the allowance based on a table produced by the IRS. Spansion will also reimburse you for your tax and estate planning/preparation up to $6,000 yearly.

 

In addition, you will receive, at company expense, individual life insurance of three times your base salary up to a maximum of $2,000,000 and you are eligible to participate in Spansion's Executive Savings Plan. This plan enables you to contribute salary and/or bonus dollars on a tax deferred basis.
