Employment Agreement Extension: Definition & Sample

Trustpilot

An employment agreement extension is a contract between an employer and employee that extends the term of the original contract agreements. This agreement is helpful in scenarios where an employee is retained by the company contractually for a predetermined amount of time. By drafting and signing an employment agreement extension, employers are able to secure employees for an extended amount of time.

In exchange for extending their employment obligation, employees are sometimes granted special terms, such as an increased rate of pay or better benefits. The employment agreement extension includes details about what these items might be.
