In the complex landscape of California commercial real estate, a standard agreement isn't enough. You need an employment contract that specifically addresses California Labor Code § 925 and AB 5 worker classification while protecting your firm from common industry risks like commission disputes and misrepresentation claims. This document ensures your brokerage is shielded by precise language regarding Triple Net (NNN) lease complexities, CAM charge disputes, and CA-specific non-solicitation parameters, all while maintaining the 'at-will' status provided under Cal. Lab. Code § 2922.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Commercial Real Estate Broker:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Misrepresentation claims
Detailed disclaimers in contracts stating that all representations are believed to be accurate but should be independently verified by clients.
Commission disputes
Clear agency agreements and commission schedules included in contracts outlining the fees and when they are earned.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under AB 5 (Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2750.3), the 'ABC test' is used to determine if a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. While some real estate licensees have specific exemptions under the Business and Professions Code, this contract is designed to provide clear job descriptions and control parameters to ensure your classification stands up to EDD and DLSE scrutiny.
Generally, no. Per Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 16600-16602, California prohibits most non-compete agreements. However, this contract focuses on enforceable protections, such as non-solicitation of clients and the protection of trade secrets, including proprietary LOI templates and tenant databases, which are permissible under California law.
To mitigate liabilities, this contract requires a detailed commission schedule. It defines exactly when a commission is earned—such as upon the execution of a lease for a Triple Net property or once the tenant improvement (TI) allowance is finalized—preventing ambiguities that often lead to litigation in commercial transactions.
Yes. It incorporates the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) data handling requirements for employee and client information, and adheres to Cal. Lab. Code § 925, which ensures that legal disputes must be adjudicated within California jurisdiction rather than an out-of-state forum.
