Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment Contract

California

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What is fixed term employment contract?

I have been given a contract that says 'Fixed Term Employment Contract'. How is this different than a normal employment contract? Is there anything I need to consider before signing this?

Christopher M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

Generally a fix term employment contract differs from a genera employment contract in that it has an end date. For example, at-will contracts continue until you are fired or quit, while a fixed term contract only continues until the term expires. The main points to look at would be what they are classifying you as (employee vs contractor), the length of the term (so you know when the contract is up), and how to renew the contract or if there is an automatic renewal. It would also be good to double check the contract for termination clauses, as quitting may be more complicated under a fixed term contract. Ultimately, as with all contract matters it’s probably best to reach out to an attorney to review the document to get more specific answers to your concerns.

Employee Separation Agreement

California

Asked on May 23, 2023

Are employee separation agreements required?

I recently left my job after two years of employment and my former employer has asked me to sign a separation agreement. I am unsure if I am legally obligated to sign this agreement or if employee separation agreements are required by law. I am hesitant to sign the agreement until I have a better understanding of my rights and obligations.

Gagandeep K.

Answered May 30, 2023

When an employee leaves a company, an employer can offer severance agreement/separation agreement/termination agreement, where employer offers a severance package to the employee (e.g., lump sum money, extended benefits) in exchange for limiting their liability (e.g., release of certain legal claims, confidentiality provisions). An employee can decide whether to accept the severance agreement as-is, whether to negotiate for more favorable terms or to reject the offer. You may consult an attorney to review the severance agreement to understand your rights, obligations, the benefit you are receiving, and the claims you are waiving.

Employment Handbook

California

Asked on Aug 10, 2023

Employment handbook confidentiality?

I am an employee of a large company and I recently received a copy of the company's Employment Handbook. I am concerned about the confidentiality of the information contained in the handbook. I want to know what legal obligations I have to keep the information in the handbook confidential, and what the legal consequences are if I do not keep the information confidential.

Myrna L.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

According to the National Labor Relations Board, Employee Handbooks are not confidential. According to the NLRB, policies that treat Employees Handbooks confidential precludes employees from discussing working conditions, pay and benefits with unions or third parties; this is a violation of Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

Employment Agreement

California

Asked on Nov 30, 2021

Are non-competes enforceable in California?

I live in CA and work for an east coast company. I have an old employment agreement from ~2006 that has a non-compete clause. Is that enforceable in CA?

Paul S.

Answered Dec 3, 2021

No, it's not. California has a very strict law against non-competes, and views those as illegal restraints on trade. Pretty much the only scenario in which a non-compete will be enforceable in California is in connection with the sale of a business.

Employment Offer

California

Asked on Sep 16, 2021

Employee or "independent contractor"

Hello, I'm starting a janitorial company. and I'm trying to keep my cost down. as of right now i will be doing all the "cleanings" if i get to over whelm i might need help for one or two gigs which would be 8 hrs or 16 hrs every two weeks if that. so i wanted to see if in California if im able to get help and have them come in as a independent contractor?

Alen A.

Answered Oct 1, 2021

Hi there, In California, workers are presumed to be employees UNLESS a company can prove ALL THREE of the following: 1) Control: Worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact; 2) SCOPE: The worker perform work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and 3) TRADE: The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed. AB5 does list occupations that are exempt from the test above but your occupation isn't one of them. I would need more information to give you legal advice but based on your question, you will not likely be able to have them as independent contractors.
