Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment Agreement
Iowa
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.
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.

In-House Counsel hired as an independent contractor - Seeking clarification on indemnity insurance
Hi I am an attorney barred in New York, and I recently started as in-house counsel for tech start up. They have hired me as an independent contractor and I am seeking clarification as to whether this can be done and also what the appropriate indemnity insurance should be for me. I hope someone can assist. Thanks! Christina Chelliah

I would have to see the employment agreement/contract. Also, if you have a job description with duties, responsibilities, in-office/hybrid/WFH requirements, reporting requirements, etc that would help.

Employment Severance Agreement
New York
I need advice on a severance package
I believe I was discriminated against due to disabilities. Reasonable accommodations were submitted on two separate occasions. My supervisor and HR rep mishandled the situation and I was eventually terminated. I was offered a severance in exchange for me not during them. I have documentation, communication, and recorded conversations and I'm finishing up writing out a timeline. I was offered a years salary and would like to negotiate more.
Orin K.
Hi, it sounds like your employer may have real concerns if they've offered one year of severance. That's higher than the offers I usually see. There is always potential to negotiate something higher, but I would not be able to counsel on specifics without fully reviewing all the facts of your situation. Please feel free to contact me through the ContractsCounsel site if you would like to discuss further.

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.

I would have to see the severance to see if the terms are fair.

Contract for Employment
New York
Can I hire employees without a written employment contract?
I am a small business owner in the retail industry, and I am considering hiring employees to help me with the day-to-day operations of my store. While I understand the importance of having a written contract to establish the terms and conditions of employment, I am wondering if it is legally acceptable to hire employees without a written employment contract in place. I want to ensure that I am compliant with employment laws and protect both my business and the employees, but I am unsure if a written contract is necessary in this situation.
Danny J.
While it's legally possible to hire employees without a written employment contract in most states, there are important considerations to keep in mind: 1. At-will employment: Most employment relationships in the U.S. are presumed to be "at-will," meaning either party can terminate the relationship with or without cause or notice. 2. State-specific requirements: Some states, like New York, require written notification of certain employment terms at the time of hiring. 3. Legal protections: A written contract can provide clarity and protection for both the employer and employee, defining terms such as job responsibilities, compensation, and grounds for termination. 4. Industry standards: For certain positions, especially high-level executives, written contracts are more common and often expected. 5. Compliance risks: Without a written contract, you may face challenges in proving compliance with labor laws or defending against potential claims. Given the complexities of employment law and the potential risks involved, it would be prudent to have a thorough legal review of your hiring practices. As an experienced employment law attorney, I could: 1. Assess your specific situation and industry requirements 2. Advise on the pros and cons of using written contracts for your business 3. Develop compliant hiring procedures and documentation 4. Ensure you're meeting all state and federal employment law requirements Would you like to discuss how we can create a legally sound hiring process that protects your business while remaining flexible for your needs?
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
