Employment Contract Template | SignedOn Employee Agreement Kit with Offer Letter, NDA, Non-Compete & HR Forms | Word, Google Docs & Fillable PDF

Hiring someone new should feel good. SignedOn makes the paperwork part quick. This employment contract template kit gives you a clear, editable employee agreement plus nine supporting HR documents, all written in plain English and designed in a calm black and white style that prints beautifully. Fill in the names, dates and pay once, tick a few boxes, and you’re ready to sign.

What This Employment Contract Template Kit Does

Most contract templates hand you two pages of dense legal text and a lot of blank lines. SignedOn works differently. The main agreement opens with a one-page Key Terms section where every name, date, pay rate and notice period lives. The 18 clauses that follow read from it. So you type each detail once, and nothing gets missed halfway down page five.

Around that contract you get the documents that usually come with a new hire: an offer letter, an NDA, a non-compete, a remote work addendum, an amendment form, a property receipt, a probation review, a termination letter and a new hire checklist. Ten documents, one consistent look.

Features That Save You Time

Fill it in once

The Key Terms page holds the parties, role, pay, hours, time off, benefits, notice periods and governing state. Checkboxes cover the choices that trip people up: full-time or part-time, at-will or fixed term, on-site, hybrid or remote, exempt or non-exempt.

Clauses that renumber themselves

Optional clauses are clearly marked. Delete one in Word and every number below it updates. No gaps, no manual fixing.

Fillable PDFs with real checkboxes

Prefer not to touch the wording? Open the PDF in free Adobe Acrobat Reader, type into the boxes and click to tick. The main contract has 90 fillable fields, including initials on every page.

Any currency

Money fields stay neutral. You enter the currency once in the Key Terms, then type the amount. Works for dollars or anything else.

Easy to brand

Add your company name to the header once and it shows on every page. Drop in your logo. Change the heading font or color through Word styles and the whole document follows.
