Fixed Term Agreement

"I need a Fixed Term Agreement for a senior software developer position in California, starting March 1, 2025, for a 12-month period, with specific provisions for intellectual property rights and remote work arrangements."

Document background
This Fixed Term Agreement template is designed for use in the United States when organizations need to establish temporary employment relationships for specific projects, seasonal work, or limited-duration positions. It complies with federal employment laws including the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Rights Act, and state-specific employment regulations. The document is particularly useful for project-based hiring, temporary staffing needs, or when covering employee leaves of absence.

This agreement helps organizations manage fixed-term employment relationships while maintaining legal compliance and protecting both employer and employee interests.
