"I came to ContractsCounsel needing a Florida probate attorney to review court filings I had drafted for two related estates in Sumter County. Both of my parents passed away within four weeks of each other, and what started as a straightforward summary administration became significantly more complicated when an $80,000 life insurance policy was discovered after the initial court order had already been entered. I needed to vacate the summary administration, open formal administration, and file a separate petition for my father's estate — six court documents total, plus supporting filings. I had been quoted $3,000 by other attorneys for this work. Gill reviewed everything for $250. But the price only tells part of the story. Gill turned the entire review around in a single day. He went through every document, made redline edits with track changes so I could see exactly what he added, and sent detailed messages explaining his reasoning. His edits were substantive — he added paragraphs the court requires that I had missed, flagged formatting conventions specific to probate court, and identified additional documents I needed to file (oath of PR, notice of confidential filing, affidavit of heirs). He uploaded samples of each one so I had a template to work from. What really set Gill apart was his willingness to go beyond the scope of a basic document review. He agreed to serve as my designated resident agent for both estates — a requirement for nonresident personal representatives in Florida — which saved me the time and cost of finding a separate Florida attorney for that role. He answered every follow-up question I had promptly and thoroughly. I was handling this pro se from out of state and was honestly nervous about whether my filings would hold up. Gill told me my documents were "very well drafted," made the targeted improvements the court would expect, and gave me the confidence to move forward. His knowledge of Florida probate procedure is clearly deep, and his communication style is straightforward and practical. If you need a Florida probate attorney — whether for a full engagement or a limited review like mine — I cannot recommend Gill highly enough. The value he delivered for the price is extraordinary. Five stars without hesitation."

Do salary employees pay for time off if office is closed?
My daughter is currently working for a Chiropractic Office in Jacksonville. She is still within her 90 days, she was hired as a salaried employee, if she works extra the pay is the same. However, due to an upcoming holiday, she was discussing her time off with another employee and how they would have several days off to equate to a long weekend. She was told that while they are closed that Friday if she wants to get paid she will have to use her accrued PTO or her pay will be deducted and she was told not to discuss pay, hours, or any such thing with her fellow employees to go straight to HR. From HR she was then told that they do not offer sick days so they must use their PTO for sick days and that it cannot be used for days off which does not make any sense to what was said before. So for days they are not open she is going to be getting money deducted even though it is beyond her control. She is 23, working her first real job and maybe I am wrong but something does not seem right. Is there anything wrong or am I just being a worried mother.
Forest H.
There is a lot going on here. A couple of high points: 1) It is against federal labor law to prohibit employees from discussing their salary. 2) Salaried employees can be required to use PTO but their pay cannot be reduced to cover holidays if they don't have any PTO available. 3) 90 days is irrelevant, many employers will have a "probationary" period but that does not affect what laws apply to the employee.

Physician Employment Agreement

How to value a physician employment agreement?
I am a physician looking to enter into a new employment agreement with a local hospital. I am looking to understand how to value this agreement, as it will be a long-term commitment, and I want to ensure that I am getting a fair deal. In addition, I am also concerned about the terms and conditions, and want to make sure that I am not agreeing to any terms that are not in my best interests.
Venus C.
Hello. It's great that you're being proactive and want to make sure you're getting a fair deal. Long-term commitments like these require careful consideration. Here’s a few things to consider. First off, consider the compensation. Take a close look at not just your base salary but also any bonuses, incentives, and benefits they're offering. Compare these numbers to what other physicians in your area are getting to see if it's a fair deal. Regarding benefits, factor those into your evaluation. Think about things like healthcare coverage, retirement plans, malpractice insurance, vacation time, and CME allowances. Consider how these perks align with your personal needs and preferences. Also, while money matters, consider the contract length, termination provisions, any restrictions (like non-compete clauses), your expected workload, and opportunities for professional development. It's essential to fully grasp these aspects to see how they align with your goals. Overall, the objective is to think about what matters most to you and whether the contractual terms align with your interests. In the end, your employment agreement should be a win-win for both you and the hospital. Keep in mind that this response is meant to provide general guidance only and is not a substitute for personalized legal advice. Every individual matter is unique. As such, consulting with an attorney to review your employment agreement and address your specific needs is highly recommended. I wish you the best of luck as you venture into this new employment opportunity.

Breach of contract?
I’m a nurse practitioner currently employees under a contract in which I was suppose to receive a bonus paid out 30 days after a 12 month period. One week after the 30 days has passed, the Bonus has not been paid. This is consider breach of contract, correct? the contract stipulates I must give 30 days notice prior to quitting. Does this still apply if he is in breach?
Diane D.
Have you asked about receiving the promised bonus? It may just be late. I would talk to the employer before quitting. And, yes, you must still give the 30 days' notice or you will be in breach. Also, realize, if you quit you may not be entitled to the bonus. I would have to see the contract you signed to actually know what you are entitled to or not.

Physician employment agreement termination clauses?
I am a physician who has been recently offered an employment agreement from a hospital. I am interested in understanding the termination clauses of the agreement, as I want to make sure that I am not at risk of being terminated without cause or without due process. I am also interested in understanding what my rights are in the case of a termination.
Diane D.
I would need to see your Employment Agreement to be able to answer this. I suggest you enter a work order in ContractsCounsel, and you can request me or have multiple attorneys bid on it.

What's probationary period in an employment contract?
I am a recent college graduate who recently accepted a job offer from a company. As part of the offer, I was asked to sign an employment contract. I understand that the contract includes a probationary period, but I'm not sure what that entails. I would like to know what the probationary period is and what it means for me as an employee.
Diane D.
A period of time to evaluate you and to show that you're a good fit for the job and that you are fully qualified for it. At the end of the probationary period, they will either keep you on or terminate you.
