SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Employment agreements, offer letters, severance agreements, and invention-assignment contracts contain clauses that are defective, unenforceable, or jurisdiction-sensitive, and spotting them requires a systematic review rather than ad-hoc reading. This Skill provides a structured checklist that tells you exactly where to look while leaving legal conclusions to retrieved governing law. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-area checklist: Covers restrictive covenants, IP and invention assignment, dispute resolution, compensation and forfeiture, term/termination/severance, and choice of law and forum. - Clause-level citations: Every finding cites the document and section as [<Document> § <section>], and missing terms are flagged as findings themselves. - Jurisdiction-sensitivity flags: Marks areas where employment law varies sharply by state or country and directs retrieval of current governing law via the legal-research skill before concluding. - Use Case: Reviewing a new hire's offer letter, you run the checklist and discover the non-compete is void under the governing state's statute, the invention-assignment clause lacks the required statutory notice, and the arbitration clause names a nonexistent arbitral body. ## Quick Start Review the attached employment agreement against the employment-review checklist and report findings with clause citations for each of the six areas.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an employment agreement for problematic clauses?

Check the document against six areas: restrictive covenants, IP and invention assignment, dispute resolution, compensation and forfeiture, term and severance, and choice of law. Cite each finding to its clause, and treat missing terms as findings themselves.

What makes a non-compete clause unenforceable in an employment contract?

Several jurisdictions void post-employment non-competes outright, so enforceability depends entirely on the governing jurisdiction's statute. The checklist flags the clause for review but requires retrieving the current governing law before concluding it is defective.

Does this checklist tell me what employment law says?

No. It states where to look, never what the law is. For jurisdiction-sensitive areas, you must retrieve the governing jurisdiction's current law using the legal-research skill or the matter's jurisdiction pack before drawing conclusions.

What documents can the employment review checklist be applied to?

It applies to employment agreements, offer letters, severance and separation agreements, and confidentiality or invention-assignment agreements. Any document governing an employment relationship can be checked against all six areas.

Why are missing terms flagged as findings in contract review?

A missing term is itself a defect, such as a signing bonus with no stated repayment terms or no overtime classification where the role warrants one. The checklist requires noting the absence explicitly rather than skipping the area.
