Employment Agreement - Compensation typing error in my favor?
I have taken an IT contract position through a recruiting firm here in Texas. They had me sign an Employment Agreement, which they signed as well. I have a question about a portion of the agreement which has to do with compensation. (the following is all that is in the agreement relating to compensation)
"Compensation - In consideration of your services, (name of consulting firm) agrees to pay you at the following rate of $50,000 paid bi-weekly."
How would you interpret this? That my pay rate is to be $50,000 every two weeks? or otherwise.... and how legally binding is something like this?

It is obvious that this is a mistake and a court would most likely interpret it as such. A contract is a "meeting of the minds" and unless both parties actually agreed on the $50,000 bi-weekly, I doubt a court would enforce it, especially when your first paycheck will not indicate that amount.
