Sample Business Contracts


Employment Agreement - Pittston Co. and David L. Marshall

Employment Forms

  • Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
  • Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
  • Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
  • Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
  • Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

                          of Paramont Coal Corporation

               This Exhibit E describes special provisions applicable to
Employees of Paramont Coal Corporation. To the extent the provisions in this
Exhibit E are inconsistent with the terms contained in the remainder of the
Plan, the provisions contained in this Exhibit E will take precedence.

Plan of Paramont Coal Corporation ("Prior Plan") will be merged into the Plan
and the Prior Plan will be terminated. As of the Merger Date, the account
balances of each Employee who was a participant in the Prior Plan will be
allocated to the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund and will be transferred to such
Fund as soon as practicable thereafter. Subsequent to the initial transfer of
account balances to the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund, Employees with
transferred account balances may elect to allocate such balances to other Funds
in accordance with Article V of the Plan. Any Employee with an account balance
under the Prior Plan shall become a Participant in this Plan, even if he does
not file an application to have Basic Contributions made on his behalf.

Prior Plan will be fully vested in their individual account balances transferred
from the Prior Plan and in any other amounts contributed to such Employees'
accounts under the Plan.
