Brett S.
I attended the University of Illinois- College of Law on a full merit scholarship. While in law school, I was a 711 Attorney at the Lake County State's Attorney's Office, specializing in traffic and misdemeanor cases. After graduation, I served as in-house counsel for one of the largest insurance companies in the world, managing thousands of cases from initial intake to trial. Upon leaving this position, I accepted a role as Legal Counsel to the Illinois Senate Minority Leader. There, I advised Senators on legislative matters, labor and employment law, and complex constitutional questions. After leaving public service, I accepted a role at a mid-size Chicago-based law firm, where I practice insurance defense and litigation. In addition to this, I also serve as outside general counsel to a food brokerage business, where I handle all of their labor and employment matters.

Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment Contract
North Carolina
What's termination notice in an employment contract?
I recently accepted a job offer with a new company and I was given an employment contract to sign. I was looking through the contract and noticed that it mentions something about a termination notice. I'm not sure what this means or how it applies to my employment, so I wanted to ask a lawyer to get a better understanding of this clause.
Ryan D.
A termination notice is a provision in an employment contract that specifies the amount of notice an employer must give an employee if they wish to terminate the contract, or vice versa if the employee wishes to leave. This is an important clause, as it offers some level of job security for the employee and some level of predictability for the employer. In most states, including North Carolina, employment is considered "at-will" unless there is a contract in place that states otherwise. This means that either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, as long as the reason isn't illegal (like discrimination). If your contract includes a termination notice clause, this "at-will" status is likely modified to some extent. The specific details would depend on the exact wording in your contract. It could require either party to provide a notice (often 2 weeks, 1 month, or sometimes longer) before terminating the contract. That notice period is intended to give the other party time to adjust plans accordingly. For the employee, it might mean finding a new job; for the employer, it might mean finding a replacement.

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.
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.

My wife & I thought we had a contract from her employer to buy A dental practice after working for them for three years. We now were forced to sign a contract with the people that bought him out to continue working for them so they can get 10x EBITA when they sell shortly. Do we have a case for lost wages?
We moved from 30 miles away because we were told if we worked for 3 years we could buy it for $525,000. They now want $2.5M.
Melissa L.
The first question is do you have a fully executed written contract? This is the first step to determine the terms and conditions such as your wages if there is a breach of contract, the dentist being able to assign the contract and if it can be modified.

Employment handbook family leave policy?
I recently accepted a position at a new company and I was given an employee handbook to review prior to my start date. I noticed that the handbook does not include any information on family leave policies. I am wondering what the company's policies are related to family leave and how they may affect my employment. I would like to understand my rights and responsibilities as an employee when it comes to family leave.

Generally, employers must have at least 50 employees at your location or within a 75-mile radius of your location to be covered under the FMLA. Further, employees of covered employers are not eligible for FMLA leave until they have been employed for at least 1 year and have worked at least 1,250 hours within the past 12 months.

Can an employer fire an employee while the employee out on sick leave
I am out on sick leave. can I resign my job?
Forest H.
Good morning, Florida is an "at-will" state (with a few limited exceptions). Depending on the size of the employer, you may be subject to FMLA protections. Otherwise, unless there is an employment contract in place, an employee can quit at any time and an employer can fire an employee at any time. Unless the reason for the firing is illegal, such as a protected class or whistleblower protection, you can be fired while on sick leave.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
