Sample Business Contracts


Employment Agreement - Phone.com Inc. and Michael C. Mulica

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.

     Amendment of Offer Letter dated October 4, 1999
     -----------------------------------------------

Dear Mike:

     As you and I discussed verbally, Phone.com, Inc. (the "Company") has agreed
to provide you with certain employment protection rights through May 3, 2001.
Accordingly, your offer letter from the Company dated October 4, 1999 (the
"Offer Letter") is amended as described below. All other provisions of the Offer
Letter that are not modified by this letter remain in full force and effect.

     For the period from the date of this letter through May 3, 2001 (the
"Employment Period"), the Company agrees that your employment shall not be "at
will", as such term is defined under applicable law, with respect to the
Company's right to terminate the employment relationship. Accordingly, for the
duration of the Employment Period, the Company hereby waives its rights under
applicable law and under the terms of the Offer Letter to terminate your
employment with the Company for any reason other than "cause". For purposes of
this Amendment, "cause" shall mean (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct in
the performance of your duties to the Company; (ii) repeated unexplained or
unjustified absence from the Company; (iii) a material and willful violation of
any federal or state law; (iv) commission of any act of fraud with respect to
the Company; or (v) conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude
causing material harm to the standing and reputation of the Company, in each
case as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

     Following the termination of the Employment Period, the terms of the Offer
Letter with respect to your status as an employee "at will", terminable by the
Company at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without cause shall
once again be in force.
