Is it worth drawing up a standard rider for employment agreements? Stuff like “I own stuff that I create on my own time and with my own equipment” would be in there along with voiding non-compete clauses. Also, adding protections to minimum time off per year in the face of companies doing the “unlimited PTO” trick.

Then it becomes an exchange of paper rather than sitting there with a highlighter handing it back and forth between, you, the recruiter, HR, and legal. I sign your contract, you sign my rider with everything I care about.
