Sample Business Contracts


Employment Agreement [Amendment No. 3] - TMP Worldwide Inc. and James J. Treacy

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.

was previously amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement,
effective as of September 14, 1998 and Amendment No. 2 to Employment Agreement,
effective as of October 1, 1999 (the employment agreement, as heretofore
amended, is referred to herein as the "Employment Agreement"), and by virtue of
this Amendment No. 3 to Employment Agreement (the "Amendment Agreement"), are
modifying certain terms of the Employment Agreement, which amendments are
effective as of November 1, 2001.

         The parties hereby agree as follows:

its entirety as follows:

         "TMPW shall employ Treacy and Treacy agrees to serve as President and
Chief Operating Officer."

2. The first sentence of Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:

         "TMPW shall pay Treacy, as compensation for services performed, an
annual salary at the rate of $675,000 and, in addition, commencing in calendar
year 2001, Treacy shall be entitled to a bonus of a dollar amount equal to a
percentage of Treacy's annual salary as follows:



                 Calendar Year                      Bonus
                 -------------                      -----
                                                
                      2001                         40.00%
                      2002                         45.00%
                      2003                         50.00%


         The bonus will be payable if and only if Treacy and/or the Company
attain such goals during the calendar year in question as determined by mutual
agreement of Treacy and the Chief Executive Officer. Any such bonus shall be
payable in a single lump sum not more than ninety (90) days after the end of the
calendar year with respect to which the bonus is awarded. With respect to
calendar year 2001 and calendar years thereafter during the term of employment
hereunder, the Chief Executive Officer and Treacy shall endeavor to discuss and
determine in good faith the goals on the basis of which the bonus would be
payable prior to the commencement of the year to which they relate (or as soon
as practicable after the commencement of such year). The bonus, if any, shall be
prorated for period of less than a full calendar year. It is understood that the
bonus provided for calendar year 2001 is in lieu of any bonus for calendar year
2001 provided by the Employment Agreement as in effect prior to the
effectiveness of Amendment No. 3 to Employment Agreement."
