So what's the solution then? Are corporations are supposed to hire an "average" person to write an employment contract for them, so that the playing field is level? Or is the employee supposed to hire a lawyer to inform them, which is something they can already do? Does the mom-and-pop down the street that hires teenagers with a contract from LegalZoom qualify? At what level of sophistication is this line drawn?
The only real position I see here is something like arethuza discussed [0] where the employer reimburses the employee for legal fees related to reviewing and negotiating the contract. Though questions of "when does this apply" are still unsolved.
