Contract AI for HR teams

An HR team works with two kinds of contract. Some go out on your own paper: offer letters, employment agreements, contractor agreements and separation agreements. Others arrive on a vendor’s paper, from staffing agencies, PEOs and benefits providers. goHeather covers the clauses below in both cases, when it drafts from your templates and when it reviews a document you were sent. Each clause is quoted with a plain-English summary of what it says. Whether any of it suits your company is a question for you and your employment counsel.

Offer letters and employment agreements

These go out often, and the wording should match from one hire to the next. goHeather drafts them from your approved template and shows you what each clause says.

• Position and pay. The title, reporting line, work location, base salary, bonus terms and pay schedule the document states.
• Start date and conditions. Any conditions the offer lists, such as a background check, and the date the offer expires.
• Confidentiality and IP assignment. How confidential information is defined, what the employee assigns, and whether any prior inventions are listed as excluded.
• Non-solicitation. Who the clause covers, how long it runs after departure, and how it is worded.
• Termination. What the agreement says about notice and about any payment on exit.

Independent contractor agreements

Contractor agreements come in both directions: your template, or the contractor’s own terms. goHeather reads the terms that set out the working relationship.

• Scope of services. How the services and deliverables are described, and how changes to them are agreed.
• Fees and invoicing. The rate, the invoicing schedule, expenses and the payment period.
• Ownership of work product. Whether deliverables are assigned to your company, and when the assignment takes effect.
• Confidentiality. What the contractor must keep confidential, and for how long.
• Term and termination. The length of the engagement and the notice either side must give to end it.

Separation agreements

A separation agreement needs to be read line by line before it goes out, and again if it comes back revised. goHeather surfaces the terms people ask about first.

• Separation payment. The amount, the installment schedule and the date of the first payment.
• The release. What the release covers as drafted, and who it names.
• Dates and deadlines. Any review or revocation period the document states, and the dates it sets.
• Continuing obligations. References to confidentiality, non-solicitation or IP terms from an earlier agreement.
• Return of property and references. What must be returned, by when, and what the agreement says about references or non-disparagement.

Staffing, PEO and benefits vendor agreements

Vendor contracts are long and written by the vendor. goHeather ranks what it finds so the fee and liability terms reach you first.

• Fees and rate changes. Markup, bill rates, admin fees, and how much notice the vendor must give before changing them.
• Conversion fees. Whether hiring a placed worker directly triggers a fee, how it is calculated and how long the window runs.
• Indemnity and liability. Which side indemnifies which, for what, and whether there is a cap.
• Data handling. What the agreement says about employee personal data and security.
• Term and renewal. Whether it renews automatically, and the notice window for ending it.

How goHeather fits your contract process

Draft the offer letter, contractor agreement or separation agreement from your own template, or upload the agreement a vendor sent and get a review with each clause quoted and summarized. Send back a redline in Word with track changes, compare the version that returns, then collect e-signatures and store the signed copy securely. Your employment counsel sees the documents that need them, with the questions already narrowed down.

goHeather is a contracts AI, not a law firm. It tells you what your agreement says and what to look at. It does not tell you what to accept or what the law requires.
