Title VII is a federal law and an employment agreement, whether verbal or written, must conform to the law.
Correct - no contract can violate a statute; any clause that did so would be void.
Individual and union employment contracts can never waive Title VII rights. But individual contracts can provide an alternate dispute resolution process, parallel to EEOC investigation, and denying the employee any right to sue in court. UNION contracts can't do that.
[See Gilmer v. Interstate Johnson-Lane]
Yes, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act can override an employment contract if the terms in that contract conflict with the law. The contract cannot overrule because Title VII is codified law (is that the right term?) and therefore supersedes an employment contract.

I recommend seeking legal advice to review your employment contract thoroughly. It's important to understand all terms and conditions before signing.
An employment contract dictates the conditions of employment, such as salary, vacation, benefits, etc. An "at will" employee serves at the pleasure of the employer, meaning their employment can be terminated at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. The effect of an employment contract on an at-will employee would be to set salary, benefits and so on as long as the employee worked at that employer.
An employment contract is normally made-up of several documents and agreements, both written, verbal and assumed. Terms and conditions of employment can be varied (subject to statutory conditions) at anytime and depending on the impact, written notice is given (either iduvidually or as a company notice).

A substantive contract is a legally binding contract between an employer and an employee that details the duties and expectations of the position. With this contract legal action can be taken if either party is in breach of the agreement.
Yes, an employee can cancel employment as long as there was no contract for that employment. If there was a contract, the employee can be sued for breech of contract.
A contract of employment is based on mutual consent and establishes a professional relationship where both the employer and employee have rights and obligations. Unlike a contract for servitude, which often involves coercion or lack of freedom, an employment contract allows for voluntary participation and the ability to terminate the agreement under defined conditions. Additionally, employment contracts are typically governed by labor laws that protect workers' rights, ensuring fair treatment and compensation.
