Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment

Employment Agreement

Iowa

Asked on Feb 17, 2022

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.

Answered Feb 18, 2022

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.

Employee Separation Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on May 31, 2023

Employee separation agreement and notice periods?

I am an employee who is currently in the process of resigning from my current position. I have been offered a separation agreement from my current employer which outlines the terms of my departure. I am looking for clarity on the notice period that must be included in the agreement, as well as any other requirements that must be fulfilled in order to ensure a smooth and compliant transition.

Shelia H.

Answered Jul 11, 2023

North Carolina is an at-will state, meaning that either party can terminate the work relationship at any time, as long as that termination is not done illegally...for instance, as the result of employment discrimination. If you have a contract with an employer, then you are bound by the terms of the contract. For instance, if the contract states that you must provide 30 days notice prior to termination, then if you don't provide the notice, you could be in breach of the contract. In regards to what must be in the agreement, the employer can't provide false or misleading information. If the employee is over 40, then the employer must provide at least 21 days for the employee to review the agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.

Employment Offer

Texas

Asked on Dec 7, 2023

How to handle an unsatisfactory employment offer?

I recently received an employment offer from a company that I have been in talks with for several months. The offer is significantly lower than expected and does not include the benefits I was expecting. I am unsure of how to handle the situation and would like advice from a lawyer on how to proceed.

Garrett M.

Answered Jan 23, 2024

One important thing in negotiations like this is that you don't want to let your emotions take over, which will probably lead to you burning a bridge. Even if you were very disappointed in the initial offer, try to stay composed in your communications and just let them know that this is quite a bit below the offer that you were expecting. They will probably say that the offer is more than fair when taking into the market, your qualifications, etc., so it is important that you are prepared with a counter offer and some decent arguments to back up your counter offer. Maybe they mentioned in the hiring process or the job posting that benefits would be included? Maybe you have qualifications that put you above the average market employee in this position? Regardless, employers almost always have some room to move from an initial offer that they make to a prospective employee, so it rarely hurts to ask for a little more.

Amendment To Employment Contract

Massachusetts

Asked on Nov 23, 2021

Who helps with healthcare employment contracts?

I am a Nurse Practitioner and work for a national wound care company. I have a current employment contract but my company has made an amendment to it which discusses my newer compensation model (work RVU). I would like someone to look over my contract with this amendment. Can you help me find someone. I am in Massachusetts (Springfield area). Thank you

Richard G.

Answered Jan 4, 2022

I would be happy to review your contract. I am a registered nurse myself as well as an attorney and have a great deal of experience in contract review. My flat fee is $300 for this service and would result in a thorough evaluation of all aspects (from a legal perspective) of the current contract and how the amendment alters that legal perspective.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
