Employee Rights
Noncompete Agreement
Texas
Noncompete agreement and moonlighting?
I am an employee at a company that has recently asked me to sign a noncompete agreement. I am considering doing so, but I am concerned about whether or not the agreement would prevent me from taking on additional freelance work outside of my normal job. I am interested in moonlighting and need to know if a noncompete agreement would limit my ability to do so.
Curt L.
If you moonlighting work is in the same business and same market, it is almost certainly prohibited by a noncompete agreement.
Employee Rights
Employment Handbook
California
Can my employer legally enforce a new policy in the employment handbook without notifying or obtaining consent from employees?
I recently received an updated copy of the employment handbook at my workplace, which included a new policy that significantly changes the dress code requirements. However, I was not notified about this change beforehand, nor was I asked to provide any consent or agreement to the new policy. I am wondering if my employer has the legal right to enforce this policy without proper notification or obtaining consent from the employees.
Patrick W.
Yes. If you are in an at will state and your employment is not for a period of time, your continued employment and aware of the new policy is adequate grounds for enforcing a new policy as a basis for employment termination or employment discipline.
Employee Rights
Acceptable Use Policy
Texas
Can an Acceptable Use Policy restrict my personal use of company devices during non-working hours?
I work for a company that recently implemented an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) which governs the use of company devices, such as laptops and smartphones. The AUP states that these devices are to be used strictly for work-related purposes and prohibits any personal use. However, I have been using my company laptop for personal activities during non-working hours, such as checking personal email and browsing the internet. I am wondering if the AUP can legally restrict my personal use of company devices even outside of working hours, and if so, what consequences could I face for violating this policy?
Lorraine C.
Depending on the actual language included in your employer’s Acceptable Use Policy, using company equipment for personal use outside of working hours may be a violation of terms. As well, the consequences should be outlined in the AUP. Here, the wording of the clause itself matters and should be reviewed by an attorney. I’m happy to take a look if you like. Hope this helps!
Employee Rights
Complaint Letter
Washington
Can I file an EEOC complaint if I believe I have experienced workplace discrimination based on my gender?
I am seeking legal advice regarding a potential EEOC complaint I am considering filing against my employer due to what I believe is gender-based discrimination. I have been working at a small tech company for the past two years, and I have noticed a pattern of unequal treatment and opportunities given to male employees compared to female employees. This includes being passed over for promotions, receiving lower pay than my male counterparts with similar qualifications and experience, and being subjected to derogatory comments and harassment. I have tried addressing these issues internally but have not seen any significant changes, so I am now considering filing an EEOC complaint. I would like to know if I have a valid case and what steps I should take to proceed with the complaint.
Merry K.
If there are at least 8 employees, you can file a complaint with the Washington State Human Rights Commission; if there are at least 15 employees, you can ALSO file with the EEOC (HRC will do this for you if you ask when you file with them). If you work in certain large cities in WA, you can also file with city or county anti-discrimination agencies. Evaluating your complaint is something that I can't do through this question/answer format, but from what you've said so far, it sounds as though you have a valid complaint - I'm not sure, however, whether you can file in regards to anything that happened more than 180 days ago (but may be able to include that if it's part of a pattern/practice). I don't know whether any of the other WA attorneys signed up with CC have my level of employment and discrimination experience, but you can find such attorneys through NELA.org, a national organization of employment attorneys. I also want to let you know that when you file with a government agency, the agency is neutral; they don't represent you. Also, there are long, long waits, and they will try to push you toward a fast settlement. It is a mandatory prerequisite to file with EEOC prior to filing an employment discrimination case in federal court, but for state court there are no such prerequisites. I'm not taking new work until the end of October and no longer engage in litigation, but would be happy to review the situation with you as part of a Contracts Counsel project in late September as a one-hour or so consultation. Unfortunately, I won't have any real free time until then. Merry A. Kogut keypenlaw@gmail.com
Employee Rights
Noncompete Agreement
Georgia
How does a noncompete agreement work?
I am an employee at a small business and I have recently been asked to sign a noncompete agreement. I am not sure how these agreements work and what rights I have as an employee. I am also concerned about the restrictions that could be placed on me if I sign the agreement. I want to make sure I understand the implications of signing the agreement before I do so.
Nancy B.
In its simplest terms, a noncompete agreement in an employment context is an agreement that says you will not compete with your former employer if you ever stop working for them. It typically forbids things like: + Working for a competitor + Starting a company that sells the same services/products as your employer + Recruiting employees from your current employer after you have left that employment. One thought is that this could be requested shortly before letting an employee go just to protect the company from competition but I hope that is not the case here as it seems like an unfair use of the noncompete agreement ability in Georgia. The issues are usually the geographical scope (for example within 15 miles of Dalton, Georgia), the time period (one or two years is usually sufficient and courts do not favor long noncompete agreements), and the consideration (such as a new job - which is not applicable in your case, or more compensation).
