Common pitfalls without these documents

Verbal offers without a written letter can lead to disputes over compensation, equity, and at-will status
Without a signed Invention Assignment, employees may argue they own code or designs created during employment
Not having a return-of-property policy makes it harder to recover equipment and revoke access when someone leaves
Skipping basic workplace policies increases liability exposure for harassment, discrimination, and safety claims
