Employee Rights Legal Questions and Answers

Employee Rights

Sales Commission Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 10, 2024

Can a sales commission agreement be enforced if it was not signed by both parties?

I work as a sales representative for a company and recently discovered that my commission structure was changed without my knowledge or consent. I was never given a new sales commission agreement to sign, and the changes were only communicated to me verbally. I have been receiving reduced commission payments for the past few months, and I am wondering if the original commission agreement can still be enforced even though it was not signed by both parties, or if the verbal changes are legally binding.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 1, 2024

Hello! I'm sorry for your situation. Generally, an agreement can be enforced by the actions of the parties, by written agreement, or by oral agreement. Hello! I'm sorry for your situation. Generally, an agreement can be enforced by the actions of the parties, by a written agreement, or by oral agreement. In your case, you mentioned that the changes were communicated to you verbally. Assuming that the agreement you had was not for some fixed term and did not require advanced written notice, changes to the agreement are generally going to be legally allowed. The best thing to do is to check your original agreement to see if it was for a fixed term or if changes needed specific procedures (e.g., written notice). Happy trails!

Noncompete Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 12, 2022

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.

Answered Sep 13, 2022

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.

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.

Compensation Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 20, 2024

Can I negotiate the terms of a compensation agreement with my employer?

I recently received a job offer from a new employer, and they have presented me with a compensation agreement that outlines my salary, benefits, and other financial arrangements. While I am excited about the opportunity, I have some concerns about certain aspects of the agreement, such as the bonus structure and non-compete clause. I would like to know if it is possible to negotiate these terms with my employer before accepting the offer, and if so, what steps should I take to initiate the negotiation process?

Jared S.

Answered Oct 22, 2024

Yes, you can negotiate the terms of your employment agreement in California. Common negotiable terms include salary, benefits, job duties, severance packages, non-compete clauses, and confidentiality provisions. California law also provides certain protections, such as restrictions on non-compete agreements and rules governing overtime and wages, which can influence the negotiation process.
