Employment Agreement
(Offer Letter) (Non-executive, At Will) (KY)

Summary

This template is a Kentucky compliant offer letter and employment agreement for the at-will employment of a non-executive employee. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate and optional clauses. This template is intended for private employers. Its language complies with Kentucky and federal law. It does not differ from the non-jurisdictional Employment Agreement (Offer Letter) (Non-executive, At Will), except that it contains practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate and optional clauses that address issues under both Kentucky and federal law. Several of the drafting notes to this template contain links to annotated policies and agreements (e.g., sick leave policies, non-competition agreements, and arbitration agreements) that you may enclose with the offer letter.
