[Music] what you need to know about employment agreements so I'll get through some of these talking points and we'll get through them first one why are they why are they so important employment agreements for Joe I started off by the show today by saying that we spend so much time at work and most of us spend more time at work than we do anything else we probably spend more time at work than we spend time with our family or on vacation or doing our hobbies so the employment agreement is the agreement that's the document that governs what we can and cannot do at work where we spend most of our time that's why an employment agreement is so important a lot of people don't appreciate the importance we're gonna give some examples as to why it's so important but it's extremely important document and not only does it govern your employment which is a reason enough to care an employment agreement could be with you for a very long time even after employment comes to and then so it's very very important to pay attention and to be very very picky about what you sign so what's better a old-school handshake or a you know fifty five page document I know you're probably thinking but what's actually better I have received on so many calls from people who received a job offer they received a a one or two paragraph letter and they call me very concerned very upset saying I'm taking this new job on and and they're giving me this one paragraph document I need to add things to it I want a more comprehensive more extensive document well don't don't worry about that that's exactly what I tell these individuals don't worry about the one paragraph document worry about the thirty page document with a lot of legalese because I can promise you that in that document the big document they're going to be a lot of terms that are going to be unfavorable to you for an employee it's far better to start doing on a handshake or in a very short document all that means is that you have the full protection of the law what a written agreement does is usually take away some of those protections that you have and either eliminates them or turns it around and gives it to the employer so in that regard if you're an employee if I'm talking to you as an employee you you don't want to have an employment agreement on the other hand if I put on my employer hat on I say you shouldn't hire someone without an employment agreement depending on your perspective but either way it's a very important document is it really less is more in that case less is more for the employee and more is more for the employer so what should an employee if they're signing an agreement ought to be watching...
