According to Dallas Business Lawyer Mike Young, here are eight of the most common areas you'll want to cover in the employment agreement.

Will there be overtime compensation? What about discretionary or performance bonuses?
3. Employee's Duties.

Can the employee work a second job for another employer or moonlight as an entrepreneur?
4. Paid Time Off.
