An Employment Agreement
An Employment Agreement is a legal contract between an employer and an employee, which outlines the terms and conditions of employment under Indian law.

- Compensation and benefits: This section outlines the employee’s salary or wages, as well as any benefits or perks that the employee is entitled to.

- Non-competition and non-disclosure clauses: This section outlines the employee’s obligations to not compete with the employer or disclose confidential information during or after employment.
- Grievance and dispute resolution: This section outlines the process for resolving disputes between the employer and the employee.
