Non-Competition Agreement

New Jersey

Asked on Jun 29, 2022

Profit sharing legal services across countrys legal?

My friend owns a Company in UK that shares a profit agreement to a limated liability company in Delaware, if they were to terminate there contract and the non competee they are stating i must shut down my buisiness for 6 months legal?

Angela Y.

Answered Aug 9, 2022

The answer depends largely on two factors: 1) what documentation did you sign that had non-compete language and 2) whether the non-compete is enforceable. Many states are trending towards non-enforceability of non-competes, depending on how burdensome they are on the person.

Employment Handbook

Connecticut

Asked on Jun 19, 2023

Employment handbook employee privacy policy?

I recently started a new job and my employer provided me with an Employment Handbook. I have read through the handbook and noticed that there is not a section on employee privacy policies. I'm concerned that the lack of an employee privacy policy could leave me vulnerable to having my personal information shared without my knowledge or consent. I am interested to learn what kind of legal protections I may have in this situation.

Thomas L.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

There are numerous state and Federal laws governing your privacy, HIPAA being a notable example, so even if your employer had no handbook at all, your employer would still be subject to all these laws.

Employee Rights

Noncompete Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Jul 4, 2023

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.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

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). Regards, Nancy A. Burnett

Noncompete Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jun 3, 2023

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.

Answered Jun 6, 2023

If you moonlighting work is in the same business and same market, it is almost certainly prohibited by a noncompete agreement.

Employment Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 28, 2022

I have a question about California severance pay

Just received a notice from company for an immediate layoff

Christopher M.

Answered Sep 30, 2022

There is no requirement under California law that a company pay severance to a terminated employee. Your severance pay will be controlled by either your employment agreement or employee handbook. However there are certain things, like paying you your final paycheck immediately that your company will be required to do under California law.
