The Sales Employment Contract is a specialized employment agreement designed for use in Ireland when hiring sales professionals across various industries. This contract type is essential when establishing a formal employment relationship with sales staff, whether they are field sales representatives, account managers, or sales executives. It addresses the unique aspects of sales roles, including commission structures, territory assignments, and performance targets, while ensuring compliance with Irish employment law. The document should be used when hiring any sales professional where the role involves a combination of basic salary and performance-based compensation. It includes comprehensive provisions for employment terms, commission calculations, sales territories, non-compete clauses, and customer relationship management, all tailored to the Irish legal context. The contract is particularly important for protecting both employer and employee interests in sales-focused roles where customer relationships and intellectual property are crucial business assets.
