Breach of Contract

When an employee is hired by an employer, they will usually sign some form of a written employment contract.  The employment contract will specify the terms of the worker's employment and also any obligations the employer has to the worker.  Employment contracts will usually cover things such as: 

• the employee's salary
• the employee's hourly rate
• the employee's benefits
• the employee's schedule/hours
• the duration or timeframe of the worker's employment (for contractual employees)
• the employee's job title/position

The employment contract may be either explicit or implied, and must be adhered to by both the employee, and the employer.  Any time an employment contract is violated, it is considered "breach of contract".  Breach of contract simply means violation of a contract or contractual terms. 

When a breach of contract has occurred, it is up to the party who has violated the contract to fix the violation.  For example, if an employer specified in an employment contract that an employee would receive certain benefits, like 50 hours of vacation, and the employee then receives 45 hours of vacation, the employer would have to amend the situation immediately.  Failure to fix the situation can lead to legal action, should the employee choose to consult with an attorney.
