An amendment to employment contract is an official change to an existing employment contract that must be clearly stated in writing. This document outlines new information or modifications to a current agreement between a business and its employee. For example, it can include salary amounts, job responsibilities, bonus structure, and bonuses awarded at the end of the year.
Amendment documents are also known as addendums. Suppose a business has multiple employees working under the same employment contract. In that case, they all must have a copy of this amendment, so everyone has access to the most up-to-date version. An employer may ask for an amendment if they feel there needs to be a change made to their initial agreement with their employee(s) or if something unexpected comes up where more clarification is necessary.
Below is a list of common sections included in Amendment To Employment Contracts. These sections are linked to the below sample agreement for you to explore.
