Has anyone ever heard of an employment contract where you are bound to a job for 2 years, and its not salaried? Its hourly pay...$12.00 an hour. Its not for me...my friend did sign one (so he says) and I was just wondering if there was a way out of it. For example, buying out the contract, or just quitting without real bad ramifications.

Yes. I was in a contract when the company relocated me to another state. They fired me 3 months later, so I got "out" of the contract. This was a salary position.
My current company was privately owned, and bought out by a large, public company. The top management (Vice Presidents and President) signed 3 year contracts.
For an hourly, $12/hr position, I don't see why a contract would be needed. That position could be replaced very easily.
Tell your friend to get fired. They will let her out of her contract.

No. You should have negotiated a lesser time period, or an "in the event of.." provision. Since you didn't, you have to abide by the contract you agreed to voluntarily and in good faith. Breech could open you (and/ or new employer) up to significant liability, if the current employer wants to pursue it. I recommend that you talk with the new employer to determine if the job can wait 4 weeks, or find an alternative solution ( for example, work for current employer during the day and some time at night for the new employer).

Easy way out would be to get fired. I have never heard of hourly contracts before now.

Generally, those are jobs they have to train you for and they don't want to invest in your training, just to have you quit. If you stay for at least two years (or whatever) then they at least get their money's worth.
The point is to make sure you don't quit. So there must be stipulations surrounding getting out of the job. It all depends on the contract.
