Employee Rights
Noncompete Agreement
California
i work for a employer from illinois ,however i am in california. My contract has non compete clause. will that be enforceable
My employer has placed me in a position thru another vendor. My employer contract with that vendor is ending. So vendor contacted me. However I am in contract with my employer for 1 year contract.
Christopher M.
Short answer: Probably no, non-compete and non-solicitation clauses are not usually enforceable on an employee in California. Long Answer: Regardless of the choice of law provision in your contract, if an enforcement action is brought against you in California, the California courts will dismiss it as it goes against the "public policy of the state" unless your employer can make a really compelling case. Most states respect the stated public policy of other states when deciding matters against their citizens, so even if the case was brought in another states courts your soon to be former employer would probably be powerless to get a judgement enforcing your non-compete.

Employee Rights
Employment Agreement
California
I have a question about California severance pay
Just received a notice from company for an immediate layoff
Christopher M.
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.
Employee Rights
Employment Handbook
Connecticut
Employment handbook employee privacy policy?
I recently started a new job and my employer provided me with an Employment Handbook. I have read through the handbook and noticed that there is not a section on employee privacy policies. I'm concerned that the lack of an employee privacy policy could leave me vulnerable to having my personal information shared without my knowledge or consent. I am interested to learn what kind of legal protections I may have in this situation.
Thomas L.
There are numerous state and Federal laws governing your privacy, HIPAA being a notable example, so even if your employer had no handbook at all, your employer would still be subject to all these laws.
Employee Rights
Settlement Agreement
Florida
How are damages outlined in a settlement agreement?
I recently reached a settlement agreement with a former employer in a dispute over unpaid wages. The settlement agreement outlines that I am to receive a certain amount of money as damages, however, I am unclear on how these damages were calculated and if there are any additional costs or fees associated with the settlement agreement. I am hoping to find out more information on how the damages were determined so that I can make sure I am receiving a fair settlement.
Linda W.
Your questions are certainly valid and you are entitled to answers. And you should receive the information before you sign a settlement agreement. Some of the terms of which should be included in the settlement agreement, such as if there are any other fees or costs associated with the settlement.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
