Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment

Employment Offer

Florida

Asked on Dec 5, 2023

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.

Answered Jan 2, 2024

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.

Asked on Aug 11, 2021

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.

Answered Aug 23, 2021

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.

Employment Contract

Florida

Asked on Feb 23, 2023

Do I have to provide my employees with a paycheck stub?

We find employee pay stubs laying around in the warehouse and left in company vehicles

Diane D.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

Florida doesn't require employers to provide a pay stub with a paycheck, nor do they have to offer them in electronic format. Pay stub legislation in Florida instead defaults to federal laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Contract Termination Agreement

Florida

Asked on Nov 1, 2021

Review of severance agreement and decision to contest

I am 70 y/o and was laid-off after 3 1/2 years of my employment as a Medical Affairs Senior Liaiason at Lundbeck LLC as part of a company reoganization last week. The company has offered a severance package supposedly based on a Company "Severance Plan" they will make available on request. In the severance agreement, they have listed all of the employees were were considered for elimination with respective ages and which were retained vs eliminated - at least one other person in my age range was eliminated while one was retained - looks like they have covered their bases on issue of age discrimination. Just wondering based on my age and ability to gain comparable re-employment at this point in my life if there is a case for increase in compenstion irrespective of their standard "severance plan" that is in place.

Diane D.

Answered Nov 12, 2021

You don't have to sign or accept the severance package. However, if you don't, they may not give you the severance package. If you need help with the review, let me know. Remember, if you file suit, you have the burden of proving your case by a preponderance of the evidence.

Physician Employment Agreement

Florida

Asked on May 23, 2023

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.

Answered May 30, 2023

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.
