New York Employment Lawyers
Help You Understand Your Right to Enforce an
Employment Agreement
We work closely with you to identify your
legal options when dealing with employment
contract disputes
Disputes related to the terms or validity of
an employment agreement are far too common
in today’s workplace. When a dispute
relating to an employment agreement arises,
it is important for the employee to
understand when the agreement became valid,
how it is enforced and what options they may
have for altering the terms of the contract.
Unfortunately, due to their complex and
highly specialized nature, employment
agreements can be difficult to fully
understand.

York employment attorneys are committed to
helping employees resolve complex legal
disputes over the validity or terms of an
employment agreement. Our more than 70 years

even the most complex employment agreement
disputes. Working closely with you, our
lawyers offer the personalized advice you
need to understand the unique terms of your
contract and its enforceability in court.
Understanding the unique attributes of your
agreement is key
No two employers use the exact same type of
employment agreement, making it important to
understand the unique nature of the contract
in question. To understand these issues, it
is important to first understand the various
types of employment agreement you may be
offered.
There are several types of
employment agreements, including:
-
Oral agreements: Verbal
discussions relating to the terms of a
candidate’s employment may be construed
as a contract in certain situations.
-
Contingent agreements: Many
employers extend contingent employment
offers to candidates during the hiring
process. These contingent offers often
include an employment agreement, which
must be signed by both parties.
-
Executed agreements: An executed
employment agreement is one that has
been signed and agreed to by both the
employer and the employee. In most
cases, the executed agreement is the
final phase of the hiring process, with
the terms of the contract becoming
enforceable upon its signing.
-
Amended agreements: At certain
points in an employee’s tenure, it may
become necessary to alter one or more
terms of the employment agreement.
Commonly altered terms include the
employee’s wage, title, responsibilities
or fringe benefits.
Each type of agreement has its own levels of
legal power, benefits and drawbacks. Each
also becomes legally enforceable at
different points. For example, a verbal
agreement may become binding the moment an
accord is reached, while a contingent
agreement or executed agreement do not
become legally enforceable until after each
party has signed the contract.
How can you tell if your employment
agreement is enforceable?
In order to fully understand the validity
and enforceability of your employment
agreement, it is best to discuss your
concerns with an experienced
New York employment lawyer. Only by
carefully examining every aspect of your
agreement and the events leading to its
creation can you gain insight into your
legal footing.
With a lawyer’s guidance, reviewing these
many factors becomes much more manageable
and far less confusing. An attorney’s advice
should help you better understand your legal
situation and your options for resolving any
dispute that may arise between you and your
employer.
