@CaptnGuardiola The other question in contract law is how to remedy a breach. In the case of employment law you normally can't ask for "specific performance". Instead, you ask to be made whole, or for something more like punitive damages. Money, basically.

[Ballon d'Order @BallondOrder]

@CaptnGuardiola In some cases there doesn't have to be physical writing, but, depending on the state a "writing" might be required. Regardless, If there are messages negotiating the deal and then the two parties agree, that would certainly constitute a legally binding contract.
