Employee Separation Agreement
California
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.
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 Agreement
California
In California, Is a Non-Circumvention agreement signed as an employee be enforceable if the employer lays off said employee?
As an employee I was presented and signed a Non-Disclosure & Non-Circumvention agreement. I was recently told that Friday July 29, 2022 is my last day solely because the employer can no longer afford my position. They have also presented the idea of hiring me as an independent contractor. In the proposal, my current employer reminded me of the signed agreement. I would like to know if I sign the agreement for contracted work, is the Non-Circumvention agreement still valid since the Employer Employee relationship has ceased at no fault of the employee?
Howard B.
You will need to talk to someone in California, specifically. I am not licensed in your state. Generally, it is possible for terms of an agreement to service termination of other aspects of the agreement. This comes up in employment contracts all the time. The answer to your question most likely exists in the text of your agreement. Take that to a local attorney - aside from the text in the document, there may well be case law in California that would set an upper limit on how long such restrictions can last.

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.
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.

Asset Purchase Agreement
California
How are employee benefits managed in an asset purchase agreement?
I am a business owner who is looking to purchase a company. This company has many employees, and I want to make sure I am making a well-informed decision about how employee benefits will be managed in the asset purchase agreement. I am looking for advice on the best way to protect both the interests of my business and the interests of the employees in this agreement.
Sarah S.
In an asset purchase agreement (APA), careful consideration is given to managing employee benefits. The agreement outlines whether the buyer assumes responsibility for continuing specific benefits post-closing, addresses accrued employee benefits, and establishes a clear process for notifying employees of changes. Legal compliance with employment laws, due diligence on existing benefit plans, and provisions for the transfer of benefits are crucial. The APA also covers communication strategies, severance agreements, and adjustments to employee handbooks, ensuring a comprehensive approach to employee benefit management during the transition.

Can I file an EEOC complaint for workplace discrimination based on my disability?
I have been working at my current job for several years and recently I have been facing discrimination from my supervisor due to my disability. Despite providing all necessary documentation and accommodations, my supervisor has been consistently undermining my work, excluding me from important meetings, and making derogatory comments about my disability. I am now considering filing an EEOC complaint, but I am uncertain about the process and if I have a strong case.
Christopher N.
Short answer: Yes. There are some siginficant deadlines (180 days and up to 300 days) you will need to meet, forms to fill out, and a venue to choose (California law vs. Federal law). Without more specific it is difficult to give you specifics, Thus, given the deadlines and the specifics of your case, I HIGHLY recommend you speak with an employment lawyer very quickly to fully understand where you in the timline, what you will need to prove, and where to file -- and more importantly, if you have a case. Good luck.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
