Noncompete Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Jul 4, 2023

How does a noncompete agreement work?

I am an employee at a small business and I have recently been asked to sign a noncompete agreement. I am not sure how these agreements work and what rights I have as an employee. I am also concerned about the restrictions that could be placed on me if I sign the agreement. I want to make sure I understand the implications of signing the agreement before I do so.

Nancy B.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

In its simplest terms, a noncompete agreement in an employment context is an agreement that says you will not compete with your former employer if you ever stop working for them. It typically forbids things like: + Working for a competitor + Starting a company that sells the same services/products as your employer + Recruiting employees from your current employer after you have left that employment. One thought is that this could be requested shortly before letting an employee go just to protect the company from competition but I hope that is not the case here as it seems like an unfair use of the noncompete agreement ability in Georgia. The issues are usually the geographical scope (for example within 15 miles of Dalton, Georgia), the time period (one or two years is usually sufficient and courts do not favor long noncompete agreements), and the consideration (such as a new job - which is not applicable in your case, or more compensation).

Employee Rights

Employment Contract

New York

Asked on Nov 26, 2024

Can an employer change the terms of employee benefits without providing notice or obtaining consent?

I work for a small company that has recently made some changes to our employee benefits package without any prior notice or consultation with the employees. The changes include reducing the amount of paid time off, increasing the employee contribution for health insurance, and eliminating certain retirement benefits. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether the employer has the right to alter the terms of our benefits without providing any notice or obtaining our consent.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 2, 2024

If you have an employment contract, the employer must adhere to the terms of that agreement. Similarly, if the company has an employee handbook, changes to benefits must align with the policies outlined therein. Courts may consider an employee handbook as a binding contract if it creates an expectation of certain benefits. If your benefits are guaranteed in a written contract or employee handbook and the employer did not follow proper procedures to make changes, you may have a claim for breach of contract. Employers are generally encouraged to provide clear communication and advance notice of benefit changes to maintain trust and compliance with legal and policy obligations. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.

EEO Policy

California

Asked on Aug 21, 2025

What is the process for filing an EEOC complaint?

I recently experienced workplace discrimination based on my race, and I believe I have a strong case to file an EEOC complaint against my employer. I faced derogatory comments, unequal treatment, and was denied a promotion despite being qualified. I want to know what steps I need to take to file a complaint and seek justice for the discrimination I have endured.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 5, 2025

You’ve been through a lot, and based on what you’ve described (racial slurs, unfair treatment, and getting passed over for a promotion) you may have a strong case under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Filing with the EEOC isn’t overly complicated. While deadlines and documentation matter, the process is designed so that people can handle it without a lawyer. That said, having some guidance definitely helps. Don’t Wait Too Long to File Let’s start with timing. You’ve got 180 calendar days from the most recent discriminatory act to file your charge. That window extends to 300 days if your state has a fair employment practices agency that works alongside the EEOC. Most states do. What’s important is that the clock starts when the discrimination happens, not when you decide to take action. If the promotion denial just happened and the derogatory comments are still ongoing, you’re probably still within the window. Just don’t wait too long. Start Documenting Right Now Before you file anything, get your records in order. Write down every incident — where it happened, what was said, and who was present. Be specific. Save any emails, performance reviews, job applications, or anything else that supports your claims. If coworkers of other races were treated more favorably under similar circumstances, document that, too. It can really strengthen your case. And if you reported the discrimination internally, keep copies of what you sent and any responses you received. How to File with the EEOC You have a few options for starting the process. The easiest is using the online portal at publicportal.eeoc.gov. You can also visit a local EEOC office, call 1-800-669-4000, or send a written statement by mail. After that initial contact, someone from the EEOC will follow up to ask questions and confirm that your case falls under their authority. The Charge Is the Heart of Your Case Once you’ve made contact, the EEOC will help you draft a formal charge of discrimination. This is the key document in your case, so make sure it’s accurate and thorough. It needs to describe what happened, when it happened, and why you believe it was based on race. It must also include your employer’s name and address. After it’s submitted, the EEOC will notify your employer within 10 days. What to Expect After You File Sometimes the EEOC offers mediation early in the process. It’s voluntary and involves a neutral third party who works with both sides to try and resolve the dispute quickly. If mediation isn’t offered or doesn’t succeed, the EEOC will open a formal investigation. They’ll review documents, interview witnesses, and may even visit your workplace. These investigations can take several months or longer depending on the case and the EEOC’s workload. What Comes Next After the investigation, the EEOC will issue one of two findings. If they believe there’s enough evidence to support your claim, they’ll issue a “reasonable cause” finding and try to negotiate a resolution with your employer through a process called conciliation. In a small number of cases, the EEOC may file a lawsuit on your behalf. If they don’t find enough evidence, they’ll close the case and give you a Notice of Right to Sue. This gives you 90 days to file a lawsuit in federal court. You can also request this notice early if you want to skip the investigation and head straight to court, but you should talk to a lawyer before doing that. Watch for Retaliation It’s illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for filing a charge or participating in an investigation. If your working conditions suddenly change (worse assignments, negative reviews, or changes in how you’re treated) document everything. Retaliation can be a separate legal issue, and the EEOC treats it seriously. Do You Need a Lawyer? You don’t need an attorney to file with the EEOC, but having one can make a big difference. A lawyer can help present your case more clearly, negotiate a better settlement, and represent you in court if needed. Many work on contingency, which means they only get paid if you recover money. Even if you file on your own, it’s smart to speak with an attorney before accepting a settlement or filing a lawsuit. Employer Size Matters One last thing to consider. Title VII only applies if your employer has 15 or more employees. If your workplace is smaller, you may still have protections under state or local laws. Those laws sometimes give you broader rights or more time to file, so don’t assume you’re out of options just because your company is small.

Employee Rights

Employment Agreement

Texas

Asked on Aug 17, 2025

Can my employer change the terms of my employment agreement without my consent?

Can my employer unilaterally modify the terms of my employment agreement, specifically regarding my compensation and benefits, without obtaining my consent? I recently received a notification from my employer stating that they will be implementing changes to our employment agreements, including reducing our bonuses and altering our vacation policy. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether I have any rights or recourse in this situation.

Sarah T.

Answered Sep 6, 2025

Hello! Thank you for submitting your question. Unfortunately, unless there’s a contract that controls the terms of the employment, an employer can generally change the terms of employment and benefits. In an at-will work environment, changes can typically be made to an employee handbook without notice to or approval from an employee. If there is an employment contract, typically, those terms cannot be changed without agreement from both parties.

Christopher M.

Answered Sep 30, 2022

There is no requirement under California law that a company pay severance to a terminated employee. Your severance pay will be controlled by either your employment agreement or employee handbook. However there are certain things, like paying you your final paycheck immediately that your company will be required to do under California law.
