Employee Rights
Employee Separation Agreement
Texas
Employee separation agreement non-compete clauses?
I recently left my job, and my former employer presented me with an Employee Separation Agreement, which includes a non-compete clause. I am concerned about the implications of signing such an agreement and would like to know what my rights are in regards to this clause. I am worried that signing this agreement could limit my future job prospects.
Brit B.
Depending on the scope of the non-compete clause, it could substantially limit your future job prospects. Is the non-compete limited: in time? In industry? In geographical area? To certain competitors? You can certainly negotiate the scope of the clause with your former employer so that your ability to find a similar job is not too restricted. If your employer insists upon a non-compete that is too strict, you should consider whether the severance amount being offered is worth the loss of freedom for your future job hunt.

Severance Agreement
New Hampshire
In florida, 70 employees at my business they lay off 10 and give severance to 8 out of the ten, myself 5 year employee and a 2 month employeee and both are sales others are operation, do have rights to get the same severance?
looking for my severance
Moxie M.
Generally, in Florida, severance is a gift. $1 of severance is usually $1 more than an employer is obligated to provide. An offer of severance may be required if an employee has an employment agreement providing for severance or is otherwise subject to a collective bargaining agreement that provides for severance. Severance agreements that are only offered to certain employees in a discriminatory manner (such as based on age, religion, national origin, sex, etc) may be a violation of local, state and/or federal law.

Can a new employer ask for my last pay stub?
My company was recently sold but the new company kept the employees. Former won’t hand over our pay information. The new company has requested that we hand in our last pay stub.
Moxie M.
The National Labor Relations Act prohibits an employer from engaging in retaliation against two (2) or more employees who band together to for mutual aid and protection, including raising concerns about lack of pay details. See link here: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/interfering-with-employee-rights-section-7-8a1 If the company has failed to compensate employees for work, it may be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and/or the Florida Minimum Wage Act (if the employer and employee meet coverage requirements). Florida Whistleblower Act, Fla. Stat. 448.102 provides whistleblower protection for employees who are retaliated for raising certain concerns in the workplace: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499/0448/Sections/0448.102.html Finally, if employees have an employment agreement providing pay for their employment, they may have a contractual right to those monies at their pay.

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.

Noncompete Agreement
California
i work for a employer from illinois ,however i am in california. My contract has non compete clause. will that be enforceable
My employer has placed me in a position thru another vendor. My employer contract with that vendor is ending. So vendor contacted me. However I am in contract with my employer for 1 year contract.
Christopher M.
Short answer: Probably no, non-compete and non-solicitation clauses are not usually enforceable on an employee in California. Long Answer: Regardless of the choice of law provision in your contract, if an enforcement action is brought against you in California, the California courts will dismiss it as it goes against the "public policy of the state" unless your employer can make a really compelling case. Most states respect the stated public policy of other states when deciding matters against their citizens, so even if the case was brought in another states courts your soon to be former employer would probably be powerless to get a judgement enforcing your non-compete.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
