Employment Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jan 4, 2023

Can a new employer ask for my last pay stub?

My company was recently sold but the new company kept the employees. Former won’t hand over our pay information. The new company has requested that we hand in our last pay stub.

Moxie M.

Answered Feb 17, 2023

The National Labor Relations Act prohibits an employer from engaging in retaliation against two (2) or more employees who band together to for mutual aid and protection, including raising concerns about lack of pay details. See link here: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/interfering-with-employee-rights-section-7-8a1 If the company has failed to compensate employees for work, it may be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and/or the Florida Minimum Wage Act (if the employer and employee meet coverage requirements). Florida Whistleblower Act, Fla. Stat. 448.102 provides whistleblower protection for employees who are retaliated for raising certain concerns in the workplace: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499/0448/Sections/0448.102.html Finally, if employees have an employment agreement providing pay for their employment, they may have a contractual right to those monies at their pay.

Employee Rights

Settlement Agreement

Florida

Asked on Dec 14, 2023

How are damages outlined in a settlement agreement?

I recently reached a settlement agreement with a former employer in a dispute over unpaid wages. The settlement agreement outlines that I am to receive a certain amount of money as damages, however, I am unclear on how these damages were calculated and if there are any additional costs or fees associated with the settlement agreement. I am hoping to find out more information on how the damages were determined so that I can make sure I am receiving a fair settlement.

Linda W.

Answered Jan 19, 2024

Your questions are certainly valid and you are entitled to answers. And you should receive the information before you sign a settlement agreement. Some of the terms of which should be included in the settlement agreement, such as if there are any other fees or costs associated with the settlement.

Noncompete Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 29, 2023

Noncompete agreement geographic scope?

I recently left my job of five years and have been offered a new position with a competitor. The new employer has asked me to sign a noncompete agreement. I am concerned about the geographic scope of the agreement and need to understand what areas it would cover, and if it would prevent me from taking a position with a competitor in another state or country.

Daniel D.

Answered Jul 25, 2023

The Courts use a reasonableness standard determine if a non-compete is reasonable in time and geographic scope. It would be necessary to see the non-compete to tell you what it says, the areas it would cover and if it would prevent you from taking another position.

Florida

Asked on Jul 5, 2023

Employee separation agreement and non-disparagement clauses?

I recently left my job after working there for five years. My employer asked me to sign a separation agreement that included a non-disparagement clause. I am concerned about the implications of signing such a clause and want to understand my rights and obligations under the agreement.

It is hard to say what your rights and obligations are under that separation agreement without seeing it as all agreements and the obligations contained within them are different and could impact you in various ways.

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!
