Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Noncompete Agreement

Washington

Asked on Jul 11, 2023

Noncompete agreement termination options?

I recently left my job after signing a Noncompete Agreement. I am looking for a new job, but I am concerned about the restrictions in the Noncompete Agreement and how it might affect my ability to find a new job. I am looking for advice on my options for terminating or modifying the Noncompete Agreement so that I can find a new job without having to worry about any potential legal repercussions.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

I am a WA State employment attorney. If you didn’t receive anything in return for signing the non-compete, it may be relatively easy to get out of it. If, however, you signed in return for something, such as a severance package, it will be challenging to get out of the agreement. However, many non-compete agreements are written overly broadly and may not be enforceable under the laws of WA and other states. You may want to consult with a WA State employment attorney for a review of the documents and law(s) of the state(s) where you may want to work or set up a business. (A WA State attorney can only provide legal advice in WA, but can help you find applicable law/case decisions for other states but without providing anything beyond information, much like a law librarian).

Severance Agreement And Release

Colorado

Asked on Feb 25, 2026

Can a Colorado employer change the date of termination on a severance agreement and release notice that says "draft"?

I was recently given a Severance Agreement and Release from my company. My position will end in May. Because the agreement says "draft" and has not been signed, I am unsure if the company can come back with a revised version saying my last day will be sooner.

Demetre K.

Answered Feb 27, 2026

The short answer is that they probably can. Colorado is an at-will employment state, meaning your employer can generally change the terms of your employment, including your termination date, at any time and for any lawful reason. Since the agreement is marked "draft" and hasn't been signed by either party, there is no binding contract locking in that May end date. That said, this is the general rule. If you have an employment agreement, offer letter, or other written documentation that guarantees a specific termination date or notice period, that could change the analysis. You would want to review any such documents carefully to confirm whether your employer has already committed to specific terms. There are also some important protections worth knowing about in this context: If you are 40 years of age or older and the severance agreement asks you to waive age discrimination claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), your employer must comply with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). Among other things, the OWBPA requires that you be given at least 21 days to review and consider the agreement before signing, or 45 days if you are being terminated as part of a group layoff or reduction in force. You also get a 7-day revocation period after signing during which you can change your mind. Here is the part that may relate to your question: if your employer makes a material change to the agreement, such as moving up your termination date, the review period starts over. So even if you have been sitting with the draft for a couple of weeks, a revised version with a new termination date would likely give you a fresh 21 or 45 day window to consider the updated terms. ***This response is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship.

Noncompete Agreement

New Jersey

Asked on Apr 15, 2021

Can I work for a competitor with my current noncompete?

I have ended my non competent consulting agreement with my current employee and I have an offer to work as an employer “not as consultant” with a competitor company to my privious employees so can I work as an employee without any problem? The consultant agreement says the following: Under any circumstances the consultant shall not engage directly or indirectly either as a principal agent , consultant,stock holder , partner or in any other capacity whatsoever have any other relationship with any business which compete with the company in USA.

Jane C.

Answered Apr 16, 2021

I suggest that you have an attorney review the entire agreement. It is hard to comment reading a paragraph taken out of context. From the limited facts you present, it seems that you cannot accept this job offer without violating the terms of the non-compete.

Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement

Florida

Asked on Aug 8, 2025

Version: Can an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement prevent me from discussing workplace harassment with others?

Version: Can an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement prevent me from discussing workplace harassment with friends, family, or other colleagues, as I have recently experienced harassment at my workplace and want to seek support and advice from trusted individuals outside of the company? I am concerned that the agreement I signed when I started my employment may restrict my ability to talk about these issues and potentially hinder my efforts to address and resolve the harassment situation.

Dimitry K.

Answered Aug 12, 2025

The answer here is strongly dependent on the language itself within the non-disclosure agreement. For example if there is language pertaining to disparagement, such terms often do limit the ability to communicate information with third parties, with some limitations such as law enforcement, federal agencies, or legal representation. Without reviewing your specific agreement it is hard to give a clear answer but it is a distinct possibility that the language can indeed restrict communication with third parties, especially if you received some manner of financial benefit from signing the agreement with the employer.

Employment Contract

Florida

Asked on Apr 19, 2023

What's probationary period in an employment contract?

I am a recent college graduate who recently accepted a job offer from a company. As part of the offer, I was asked to sign an employment contract. I understand that the contract includes a probationary period, but I'm not sure what that entails. I would like to know what the probationary period is and what it means for me as an employee.

Diane D.

Answered May 10, 2023

A period of time to evaluate you and to show that you're a good fit for the job and that you are fully qualified for it. At the end of the probationary period, they will either keep you on or terminate you.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
