Employee Contract
Massachusetts
Can I file a claim for unpaid overtime wages?
I have been working for a small consulting firm for the past two years, and I recently discovered that I have not been receiving overtime pay despite regularly working more than 40 hours per week. According to my employment contract, I am classified as an exempt employee, but after researching the Fair Labor Standards Act, I believe that I may be misclassified and entitled to overtime compensation. I would like to know if I have a valid claim for unpaid overtime wages and what steps I should take to pursue this matter legally.
Frank G.
If you are "non-exempt" and thereby entitled to overtime. Determining whether a worker is an "exempt" employee and not entitled to overtime requires application of the law to the facts. For instance, an "exempt" executive employee are paid not less than $455 per week, have their primary duty to manage part of the busisess, regularly direct the work of two or more other employees, and have the authority to hire or fire other employees or to make recommendations about hiring and firing taken into account by their employers. An "exempt" administrative employee, are also paid at least $455 a week and has the primary duty of the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or its customers--and is an employee whose primary duty for the employer involves exercising their discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters significant to the employer. It's not always easy to determine if someone is a managerial or administrative employee however and it can be a gray area. There are lots of examples of overtime exemptions such as computer and creative professionals, outside sales people, some truck drviers, some mechanics and some people working at auto dealerships. You may be non-exempt and eligible for overtime under the law if you are a paid a salary based on a 40 hour work week but work more than 40 hours. If you are eligible for overtime there are laws protecting you from retaliation for complaining about not being paid overtime.

Shareholders Agreement
Massachusetts
Should I form a corporation around my research if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raising funding) in the next year?
Should I form a corporation around my work if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raise outside funding) in the next year? My research is computational in nature (can be done on my laptop) and doesn't require many resources.
Richard G.
The answer to this questions to some degree depends upon your tolerance for risk. If in performing your "business" you are not exposing yourself in any way to the outside world, e.g., hiring, selling, inviting investors, etc., then you may no little to no liability exposure. However, if there is any aspect of your work that would or could develop into something which does involve others, or which is relied upon by others, then the safest path would be to incorporate or form an LLC. LLC's are more expensive to maintain in Massachusetts, i.e., $500 annually, but require less paperwork (no shares to consider, etc.). An LLC should have an operating agreement, even with a single member to clearly distinguish the member as an individual from the LLC as a company. Incorporation is more expensive in the early stages as it requires you to pay your fee to the Secretary of State (about $275), which recurs annually. It is more heavy in terms of annual meeting minutes of shareholders, and other formal documents, and can be a bit more expensive as incorporating will require a shareholder's agreement and other documentation at the outset (not repeated annually).

Earn Out Agreement
California
Can you explain the key provisions and potential risks involved in an Earn Out Agreement?
I am currently in negotiations to sell my small business and the potential buyer has proposed an Earn Out Agreement as part of the deal. While I understand the basic concept of an earn out, I am unsure about the specific provisions that should be included in the agreement and the potential risks involved. I want to ensure that I am adequately protected and that the earn out arrangement is fair and reasonable for both parties.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you for using contractscounsel.com! This kind of agreement can be a great way to bridge the gap if you and the buyer have different views on your business's future value, but it’s not without its headaches. Basically, it lets the buyer pay part of the sale price later, depending on how the business performs. To keep things fair, you MUST have clear rules. I think for you need to nail down what performance targets you’re using such as revenue, profit, etc., and how they’ll be calculated. Be super specific to avoid arguments. Set a timeline for the earn-out, like 2–3 years, and agree on when you’ll get paid if targets are hit. You also need protection since the buyer will run the business after the sale. You don’t want them cutting corners or making decisions that could tank your payout. If the buyer mismanages things, you’re the one who loses. I think if you have some specific actions that the buyer promises to perform that you know helps the companies stay profitable or stay legally compliant (for example), including that in the agreement makes sense. You can ask for safeguards like minimum payments, say-so in major decisions, or money held in escrow. And, of course, make sure everything’s spelled out. We can draft these agreements for you here! Best of luck!

Shareholders Agreement
Connecticut
How does a shareholders agreement work?
I am an individual looking to start a business with several other partners. We are in the process of forming a company and want to ensure that everyone is on the same page in terms of expectations and responsibilities. We are considering a shareholders agreement, but I am unsure how it works and how it will affect our business. I would like to get a better understanding of how a shareholders agreement works and how it can be beneficial to our business.
Thomas L.
A shareholders' agreement generally provides specified outcomes on issues that require a stockholder vote. Thus, who is on the board of directors, the sale of the company, and other major issues like that. The agreement requires that the stockholders vote in the agreed upon manner to enforce the agreement.

LLC
Florida
What are the steps involved in forming an LLC?
I am interested in starting my own business and have decided that forming a limited liability company (LLC) is the best option for me. However, I am unsure about the specific steps involved in the LLC formation process, such as filing the necessary paperwork, obtaining an employer identification number (EIN), and drafting an operating agreement. I would like to understand the entire process in order to ensure that I comply with all legal requirements and set up my LLC properly.
Ralph S.
An attorney on this site can help you with all the steps, some offer it a a package. You first need to decide on the membership structure (who owns what). File Articles of Organization with the State, obtain your ein, draft your operating agreement (have a discussion re who does what), prepare your members resolutions/ have a meeting- to issue your membership interests and appoint the person to open your bank account. Verify what subsequent steps you need to take in your county/city because these are different; verify if your kind of activity requires registration with state and or county. With regard to address and documents, remember that Florida requires a physical address (no PO Box) and that banks have been more and more difficult about using virtual addresses in recent months.
