Focus on five areas: (1) compensation structure — is base salary, bonus, and equity clearly defined with no vague "at company discretion" language? (2) non-compete scope — is it limited to your specific role and a reasonable geography/time period? (3) IP assignment — does it only cover work done for this employer, or does it try to claim side projects? (4) termination terms — do you have at-will protection and severance clarity? (5) benefits — are health, PTO, and retirement contributions spelled out with no hidden conditions?
Enforceability varies significantly by state. California, North Dakota, and Minnesota ban most non-competes. Most other states enforce them only if they are reasonable in scope (specific industry), geography (your actual work area), and duration (typically 6–12 months). An overly broad non-compete covering all competitors nationwide for 2+ years is generally not enforceable — but you may still face legal costs fighting it. AI analysis flags clauses that exceed typical enforceability standards.
Generally, material changes to a signed employment contract require your consent. However, many contracts include clauses allowing unilateral changes to policies, benefits, or job duties with notice. AI review identifies these flexibility clauses so you know what can change without your agreement before you sign.
Typical severance ranges from 1–2 weeks per year of service for non-executive roles, up to 3–6 months for senior positions. Many contracts have no severance at all — it's purely negotiable. Watch for severance being conditioned on signing a broad release of all legal claims, which may waive rights you'd want to preserve. AI analysis flags when severance terms are below market or contain problematic release conditions.
"Work made for hire" means your employer owns everything you create during employment — code, designs, writing, inventions. The risk is when contracts try to extend this to personal projects done outside work hours. AI review checks whether the IP assignment clause is limited to work related to your job responsibilities or attempts to claim ownership of all creative output regardless of when or how it was created.
Always review it first — most offers have some flexibility, especially on non-compete scope, equity vesting, and severance. Employers rarely rescind offers because a candidate asks reasonable questions. Upload your contract for AI analysis first to identify which specific clauses are worth pushing back on, then negotiate those points with clear reasoning rather than vague concerns.
