Employers have their workers sign work contracts for a variety of reasons. They may do so if they hire contractors who work on limited-scope projects. An employer who invests significant time recruiting top talent may also have their workers sign a contract to protect their investment. No one contract fits all situations. Employees and employers alike face many pros and cons when signing such agreements.

Companies who invest a lot of resources into recruiting the right candidate for a role may feel a sense of security in knowing that their employee will be with them for a set amount of time simply by having them sign a contract.

Home interest rates reached all-time lows in recent months, a factor that motivated many homeowners to look into refinancing their mortgages. While the thought of changing out your interest rate for a lower one and reducing your monthly mortgage payment may seem ideal, it may not be as good as it looks.

Although realtors generally only earn a small commission on the sale of their clients' homes, many financially savvy homeowners set out to try to sell their homes themselves to save some money. What many Georgians who pursue the "for sale by owner" option don't realize is that they can't handle every aspect of the home selling process by themselves. Georgia law requires residents to have an attorney oversee their closing.

Many Augusta homeowners hire a realtor to handle the marketing of their homes and to help them in negotiating the terms of the sale. While you may not need a real estate agent's assistance in marketing, you may still need someone to help with the negotiation process with your potential buyer. A real estate closing attorney who's emotionally unattached to the home can handle this process for you.

They'd probably join the ranks of drunk or distracted vehicle operators. There are many valid reasons why adult motorists fear sharing the roads with teen drivers.

Data published by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Research Institute's Teen Driver Source captures how the crash fatality rate among 16 to 19-year-olds is three times higher than for motorists 20 or older. Those same statistics show that motorists ages 16 and 17 have the highest fatal accident death rate.
