Actually there’s one more clause you may want to consider adding: A method for resolving disputes relating to employment. For example, this can include the type of dispute resolution (like arbitration or mediation), the venue (a particular state or federal court), or the location in which you want to resolve the dispute.
Of course each business has different needs, so it may be best to consult an experienced employment attorney to make sure your employment contract has you covered.
