Employment Legal Questions and Answers
Employment
Employee Separation Agreement
Florida
How to track employee separation agreements?
I am an HR Manager at a company that is in the process of restructuring and downsizing its workforce. As part of this process, we need to ensure that all employees are given a fair and equitable separation package. I am looking for assistance in understanding how I can track and manage employee separation agreements, in order to ensure accuracy and compliance with applicable laws.
Diane D.
I would look into a good HR software package.
Employment
Exclusivity Agreement
Massachusetts
Can an exclusivity agreement prevent me from working for a competitor after my employment ends?
I recently started a new job where I signed an exclusivity agreement that prohibits me from working for a competitor for a certain period of time after my employment ends. However, I am considering leaving this job and joining a competitor due to better career prospects. I am concerned about the legal implications of breaking this exclusivity agreement and whether it would be enforceable in preventing me from working for a competitor.
Laura H.
Massachusetts has very specific requirements that must be met before a non-compete agreement will be enforceable. It must be reasonable, there must be adequate consideration (usually payment), and the employer must have a legitimate interest in stopping the employee from working. The best way to determine whether your specific agreement may be enforced is to have an attorney review it.
Employment
Employment Offer
Florida
Are employment offer letters standardized?
I recently received an employment offer from a company and I'm wondering if the language in the offer letter is standard or if I should be wary of any particular clauses. I'm eager to accept the offer, but I want to make sure that I'm not agreeing to anything that could later be detrimental to me.
Gill D.
Offer letters generally have similar language in that they offer you a specific job at a specific price point. However, these letters are not always standardized and you should read the letter carefully to understand what is being offered.
Employment
Severance Agreement
New York
Updating a severance agreement?
I recently received a severance agreement from my employer and I am unsure if the terms are appropriate for my situation. I was laid off due to restructuring and I am looking to make sure that I am receiving the best possible terms from the agreement. I'm not sure if the agreement should be updated or if it is fair as it is currently written.
Erdal T.
I would have to see the severance to see if the terms are fair.
Employment
Severance Agreement
North Carolina
What is a severance agreement?
I recently accepted a job offer from a new company, but before I start my new position the company has asked me to sign a severance agreement. I'm not familiar with this type of document and am unsure of what it entails. I'm looking to learn more about severance agreements so that I can make an informed decision.
N'kia N.
There are two main types of Severance Agreements. One is signed at the beginning of an employment relationship and the other is signed at the end. When a Severance Agreement is signed at the beginning of an employment relationship, "severance" is what the employer promises to pay (above and beyond the employee's regular wages) when employment terminates i.e. when the parties "sever" ties. The sum of severance pay is typically calculated by how long the employee had been employed by the company at the time of separation. Before signing this type of Severance Agreement, a prospective employee should be sure that it clearly defines all the important terms and conditions. For example, the Severance Agreement may address how long the employee must be employed to become eligible for severance pay, how long after termination the severance pay will be paid, whether severance pay will be paid in a lump sum, and what could cause the employee to forfeit severance pay.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
