Some critical issues are compensation and salary, severance packages, bonuses and commissions, departure arrangements, binding arbitration clauses, employment-at-will issues, and non-competition and restrictive covenants.

contract need to always ensure that they are comfortable with the duties and obligations
allocated to them. It is essential that all intentions, expectations, and requirements are
clearly outlined during the negotiation process. The specific remedy should also be
negotiated if either party breach the contract.
