European here. What do you mean? Employment contracts are not common or mandatory? Unheard of here. I painted my grandma's house for money and we still wrote a single page contract.
- robbick 4y agoGuessing here but I think the implication is that courts in the US are unable/unwilling to enforce workers rights even when laid out in a contract. In a post-union US there is not enough organised support for workers unless they are very rich. Obviously employees all (maybe almost all) have employment contracts
- ryanSrich 4y agoThere are employment agreements, but they typically only cover protections for the company - not stealing IP, no competition clause, etc. Since most states are at will employment, you don’t need a reason to fire someone, just like an employee doesn’t need a reason to quit. Both parties can end employment without cause at any time for any reason. There are some varying exceptions to this, but it’s mostly the case.
