Can an employer force you two sign a two year commitment contract?
Answers:
Well, they can't force you per se. But if you want the job, you'll have to sign it. They're just trying to protect themselves. If you don't think you can commit, don't sign the contract. It'll save you a lot of hassle. (They could sue you if you backed out early.)
Of course he can't force you. But he can also terminate you if you refuse to sign what he is offering. Consider both sides of the equation.
Most employers will ask for a commitment based on benefits, such as relocation, sign on bonus, or full tuition for a program. They can't force you to sign anything you don't want to sign, but they have all rights to not extend you the offer if you don't want to make the 2 year commitment...
No, but there must be more to the story.
Is this some type of contract where they provide you some training or schooling and ask you to sign the contract that you will stay at least 2 years working for them in exchange for that training or schooling? If that be the case, they usually have a clause to get out of it if you pay them back for the training.
I would need more information.
Nope. You have the choice not to sign it and find employment elsewhere.
I can tell you that I live and work (and play) in Ohio. We have what is called employment at will. You can be fired at anytime or quit at anytime without cause. Meaning you can sign it and still quit, with reasonable notice I presume. You should also have good reason to quit. Why would you put your signature on a document... make a promise and then not fulfill?
The signing is more of a "scouts honor" and they cannot enforce or sue you if you don't stay two years after signing. To be nice, though, think about if you really want to stay there two years. Then, if they actually deliver on the expectations they give you before starting, stay. If they don't, leave.
Yes. (With a gun to your head)
