What this skill does
Overview
This skill gives templates and guidance for writing employment documents. It covers offer letters, contracts, handbooks, and agreements about secrecy and working for competitors. The templates are for information only and are not legal advice.
Key Features
- Draft offer letters and formal employment contracts.
- Write employee handbooks and HR policies for new hires.
- Prepare an NDA, which is a promise to keep company information secret.
- Prepare a non-compete, which limits working for a competitor.
- Check key choices, like full-time or part-time and employee or contractor.
Who is this for?
This is for founders, managers and HR staff who need clear, consistent employment paperwork. It is a good starting point when you have no standard documents yet. Laws differ by place, so always ask a lawyer to review the final documents.
