[Scope of Discretionary Authority]
Clearly defines the employer and employee, including legal names and addresses, to establish who is bound by the contract.
Specifies the employee's position, duties, and responsibilities, providing clarity on job expectations, which helps prevent future disputes.
Details salary, payment schedule, and any additional benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, bonuses, etc., to ensure clarity on remuneration terms.
Outlines expected working hours, overtime policies, and any flexible working arrangements, essential for setting mutual expectations.
Defines the duration of employment (if applicable) and conditions under which either party can terminate the contract, including notice periods and severance, to manage termination processes.
Requires the employee to keep proprietary information confidential, protecting the employer's business interests and trade secrets.
Restricts employee's ability to compete with employer or solicit clients and employees post-employment, although enforceability varies by state.
Outlines methods for resolving disputes, such as arbitration or mediation, which can lower litigation costs.
Ensures that if one part of the contract is invalid, the remainder stays in effect, preserving the contract’s overall integrity.
Specifies which state's laws will govern the contract and where any legal actions would be taken, providing predictability in the legal environment.
Requires any modifications to the contract to be in writing and signed by both parties, ensuring that the written contract remains the definitive source of agreement terms.
In the highly regulated world of financial services, a generic employment agreement is a liability. For Independent Financial Advisors in Georgia, your contract must not only address O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 at-will employment standards but also the rigorous fiduciary requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Our specialized document generator bridges the gap between Georgia's business laws and federal SEC/FINRA compliance. We help you define clear AUM fee structures, precise risk disclosure responsibilities, and protect your firm's books of business with restrictive covenants tailored to be enforceable under the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50).
Under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq., Georgia allows for the enforcement of non-compete and non-solicitation clauses if they are reasonable in duration, geographic area, and scope of prohibited activities. For financial advisors, this is critical to protect client lists and proprietary portfolio strategies while ensuring the clause remains enforceable in state courts.
The contract includes specific fiduciary duty clauses that align with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. It establishes the advisor's obligation to act in the client's best interest, manage portfolio allocations according to risk tolerance, and adhere to the firm’s compliance manual to mitigate fiduciary liability.
Per O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, Georgia is an at-will state, meaning either party can terminate the relationship for any legal reason. However, our contract allows for defined 'For Cause' termination triggers, such as Series 65 licensing lapses or regulatory violations, which are vital for maintaining RIA compliance and protecting against E&O claims.
