Sample Business Contracts
Offer Letter - Spansion Inc. and Bertrand Cambou
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.

Benefits and Perquisites � Advanced Micro Devices makes available to employees a comprehensive benefits program including medical and dental coverage, cash and deferred profit sharing, salary investment and payroll deduction stock investment plans, and a paid sabbatical after seven years of employment. Questions about these plans will be discussed in your new employee orientation.
