When accepting a new position or renegotiating your compensation or job details, it’s important to sign a contract to be sure that all parties are on the same page. A contract sets clear expectations on both sides and can help things run smoothly day-to-day. Be sure to read any contract thoroughly before signing and ask any questions you might have. Your BAHS recruiter can help advise what is standard for your industry and location but we do recommend that you always utilize your own lawyer.
