Employment Forms
Important disclaimer: The forms available below are only samples and are furnished only as illustrations of their respective categories. They are not meant to be taken and used without consultation with a licensed employment law attorney. If you are in need of a form for a particular situation, you should keep in mind that any sample form such as the ones available here would need to be reviewed, and possibly modified, by an employment law attorney in order to fit your situation and to comply with the laws of your state. Downloading, printing, or reproducing any of these forms in any manner constitutes your agreement that you understand this disclaimer and that you will not use the form for your company or individual situation without first having it approved and, if necessary, modified by an employment law attorney of your choice.
State and federal laws generally do not require employers to use written forms for various purposes with employees, except for things such as I-9s, W-4s, and so on, but it is an extremely good idea to maintain written records of most aspects of, and significant events during, the employment relationship. That is mainly because if a claim or lawsuit is ever filed, having certain documents in writing will make it much easier to defend your company and show that no laws were broken. Some documents, such as job applications, are so important that if you do not have them in writing, you may well find it impossible to defend against something like an employment discrimination lawsuit. The following things should always be in writing for your protection - simply click on each item for which you would like to see further information and a sample form:
