Employment contract terms that affect your future

These are the clauses people wish they had read more carefully — usually after they've already signed.

Overbroad non-compete

Non-competes that bar you from working in 'any similar role' for 12–24 months can severely limit your next career move. Enforceability varies widely by state — Clausix surfaces the relevant law.

Sweeping IP assignment

Some employment contracts assign ownership of everything you create — including side projects done on personal time and with personal equipment — to your employer.

Sign-on bonus clawback

Sign-on bonuses often come with 12–24 month clawback clauses. If you leave early, you may owe the full amount back — sometimes with interest. Clausix flags the repayment terms.

Mandatory arbitration

Clauses that require all disputes to go to private arbitration — rather than court — can limit your legal options and often favor employers. Clausix identifies and explains these provisions.

At-will modifications

While most US employment is at-will, some contracts add carve-outs that restrict when or how you can be terminated — or change the notice period. Clausix reads both sides of this.

Non-solicitation scope

Non-solicitation clauses can prevent you from contacting former colleagues or clients for years after leaving. Clausix flags overly broad scope that could limit your professional network.
