employment-contract-templates

This skill provides templates and legal frameworks for creating employment documentation including contracts, offer letters, employee handbooks, and HR policies. Use it when drafting employment agreements, establishing standardized hiring processes, developing company HR policies, or creating onboarding materials that require legally sound documentation tailored to specific jurisdictions and employment relationships.

# Employment Contract Templates

Templates and patterns for creating legally sound employment documentation including contracts, offer letters, and HR policies.

## When to Use This Skill

- Drafting employment contracts
- Creating offer letters
- Writing employee handbooks
- Developing HR policies
- Standardizing employment documentation
- Onboarding documentation

## Core Concepts

### 1. Employment Document Types

| Document                | Purpose                 | When Used     |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------- |
| **Offer Letter**        | Initial job offer       | Pre-hire      |
| **Employment Contract** | Formal agreement        | Hire          |
| **Employee Handbook**   | Policies & procedures   | Onboarding    |
| **NDA**                 | Confidentiality         | Before access |
| **Non-Compete**         | Competition restriction | Hire/Exit     |

### 2. Key Legal Considerations

```
Employment Relationship:
├── At-Will vs. Contract
├── Employee vs. Contractor
├── Full-Time vs. Part-Time
├── Exempt vs. Non-Exempt
└── Jurisdiction-Specific Requirements
```

**DISCLAIMER: These templates are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. Consult with qualified legal counsel before using any employment documents.**

## Templates and detailed worked examples

Full template library and detailed worked examples live in `references/details.md`. Read that file when you need the concrete templates.

## Best Practices

### Do's

- **Consult legal counsel** - Employment law varies by jurisdiction
- **Keep copies signed** - Document all agreements
- **Update regularly** - Laws and policies change
- **Be clear and specific** - Avoid ambiguity
- **Train managers** - On policies and procedures

### Don'ts

- **Don't use generic templates** - Customize for your jurisdiction
- **Don't make promises** - That could create implied contracts
- **Don't discriminate** - In language or application
- **Don't forget at-will language** - Where applicable
- **Don't skip review** - Have legal counsel review all documents
screen-reader-testingSkill

Test web applications with screen readers including VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS. Use when validating screen reader compatibility, debugging accessibility issues, or ensuring assistive technology support.

wcag-audit-patternsSkill

Conduct WCAG 2.2 accessibility audits with automated testing, manual verification, and remediation guidance. Use when auditing websites for accessibility, fixing WCAG violations, or implementing accessible design patterns.

multi-reviewer-patternsSkill

Coordinate parallel code reviews across multiple quality dimensions with finding deduplication, severity calibration, and consolidated reporting. Use this skill when organizing multi-reviewer code reviews, calibrating finding severity, or consolidating review results.

parallel-debuggingSkill

Debug complex issues using competing hypotheses with parallel investigation, evidence collection, and root cause arbitration. Use this skill when debugging bugs with multiple potential causes, performing root cause analysis, or organizing parallel investigation workflows.

parallel-feature-developmentSkill

Coordinate parallel feature development with file ownership strategies, conflict avoidance rules, and integration patterns for multi-agent implementation. Use this skill when decomposing a large feature into independent work streams, when two or more agents need to implement different layers of the same system simultaneously, when establishing file ownership to prevent merge conflicts in a shared codebase, when designing interface contracts so parallel implementers can build against each other's APIs before they are ready, or when deciding whether to use vertical slices versus horizontal layers for a full-stack feature.

task-coordination-strategiesSkill

Decompose complex tasks, design dependency graphs, and coordinate multi-agent work with proper task descriptions and workload balancing. Use this skill when breaking down work for agent teams, managing task dependencies, or monitoring team progress.

team-communication-protocolsSkill

Structured messaging protocols for agent team communication including message type selection, plan approval, shutdown procedures, and anti-patterns to avoid. Use this skill when establishing communication norms for a newly spawned team, when deciding whether to send a direct message or a broadcast, when a team-lead needs to review and approve an implementer's plan before work begins, when orchestrating a graceful team shutdown after all tasks are complete, or when debugging why teammates are not coordinating correctly at integration points.

team-composition-patternsSkill

Design optimal agent team compositions with sizing heuristics, preset configurations, and agent type selection. Use this skill when deciding how many agents to spawn for a task, when choosing between a review team versus a feature team versus a debug team, when selecting the correct subagent_type for each role to ensure agents have the tools they need, when configuring display modes (tmux, iTerm2, in-process) for a CI or local environment, or when building a custom team composition for a non-standard workflow such as a migration or security audit.
