[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here -- I have been with the family for 7 months without a contract and they are the best employers I have ever had. They are always very respectful and I have never felt taken advantage of. They are very appreciative of what I do. I am wondering if all of these things are really necessary to include in the contract.... I feel like since we already have such a great relationship that if I want to include some things that it will seem like I don't trust them or like I think they are going to screw them over. I don't want to hurt the relationship that we have but I also don't want to be naive. [/quote]

OP if both you and your employer are happy with the terms that you have verbally agreed to then you should just include those terms in the contract. The basics in a contract are schedule, base rate and OT rate (these are different from the average rate that you probably negotiated). spell out the paid holidays, notification periods for leave requests.

I would suggest including an annual review but not the contractual 4 letters of reference or the nanny cam clause. If they pay you regularly, are organized, and never haven forgetten to give you your check then I would forget the late penalty for late payment though this is reasonable clause for a new employee who doesn't know  whether the family is good with accounting or not.
