My main focus is estate planning and business transactions, but I have had many practice areas throughout my career, including criminal defense and prosecution, civil litigation from neighborhood squabbles to corporate contentions. I have also worked in bankruptcy, family law, collections, employment law, and personal injury. I stand ready to assist in any area to which I feel I can be of service, but will not try to fake it if I do not know the area of law I am being asked to serve in.

Florida
I work full time from 7:58 am to 5pm they tell me by law I have to take 1 hour break . And they say I can’t pass the 40 hours because they won’t pay overtime to me . But the other employees
I just want to know if it’s correct that they can do that or I can take 45 min only of break so they pay me .
Donya G.
From my initial research it appears that based on Federal law, s 30 min break is required; however, I am NOT a Florida attorney and DO NOT practice in this field so its best to talk to someone with the knowledge and expertise in this field. https://thelawdictionary.org/article/florida-labor-laws-about-break-during-work/ Hope that helps.

Stock Option Agreement
California
Stock option agreement and early exercise provisions?
I recently accepted a job offer from a company that includes stock options. I have been provided with a Stock Option Agreement, but I am unsure of the early exercise provisions and how they may affect my future rights as an employee. I am looking for guidance on the legal implications of early exercising my stock options.
Paul S.
It's very important to follow the process for exercising the options, to the letter. These are described in the stock option agreement. I've had someone reach out in the past, asking why their never got their stock options. When I asked how he exercised them, he said he sent a message over Slack, rather than following the proper process. If you aren't sure what to do, then you should have a lawyer go through the documents with you.

Option Grant
California
Can you explain the process and legal implications of an option grant for employees?
I recently joined a startup company and as part of my compensation package, I was offered an option grant. However, I am not familiar with how option grants work and what legal implications they may have. I would like to understand the process and any potential risks or benefits associated with accepting this option grant as an employee, so that I can make an informed decision about my compensation package.
Brian W.
While not exhaustive, this summary should provide some of the basics when it comes to an employee stock option grant at a startup. When an employee receives stock options, the employee receives the contractual right to purchase shares of company stock at a fixed strike price (e.g., the option to purchase 10k shares of the company's common stock at $1.00 per share - meaning the employee will ultimately have to pay $10,000 to purchase the shares). Options generally vest over 4 years with a 1-year "cliff" (meaning no options vest until 12 months after the vesting commencement date) and then monthly (or quarterly) thereafter. Options generally expire 90 days after an employee leaves the company and there are several ways that vesting may accelerate (e.g. upon sale, change of control, or other liquidity event). Depending on your level/seniority, some of these terms may be negotiable. It is important to ask about the company's capitalization to understand your "fully diluted" percentage ownership interest. You will want to know the number of options that have been authorized and granted under the plan and whether additional options will be granted in the future. Likewise, you will want to know the company's latest valuation from their most recent 409A report. If the company raises additional equity in the future, that will ultimately dilute (or reduce) your ownership stake. You will want to understand if the company plans to grant you additional options in the future as some employers grant additional options annually (e.g. around your anniversary date) while others do so on an ad-hoc basis or not at all. In terms of potential risks and benefits, if the company does well in the future and your options are still valid, you might earn some money down the road depending on the difference between your strike and sale prices. There are tax implications to consider depending on the type of option granted (Incentive Stock Options vs. Non-Qualified Options) and whether you exercise your option to purchase and hold your shares for a time in advance of a sale. Ultimately, you should treat any compensation derived from startup company options as an unexpected windfall. The reality for most startups is that options are never worth anything down the road.
