Papertrail’s staff grew in 2013, and as part of hiring employees, the company obtained employment agreements. These are fairly standard contracts that all technology companies use. If you’ve worked in the technology field, you’ve probably signed one.
We wanted to go a bit further, though. We got tired of not having easy-to-understand contracts and we want to start collaborating on something better. All stakeholders should be able to easily review, see changes to, discuss, and hopefully, edit and improve them.
Our stakeholders use git and Markdown. That’s why Papertrail’s employment agreement and NDA contract templates are now available on GitHub. They’re free and completely unencumbered under the Creative Commons Zero license.
