Employment Legal Questions and Answers
Employment
Physician Employment Agreement
Florida
Are physician employment agreements required?
I am a physician who is considering a new job opportunity. I have been presented with an employment agreement, but I am unsure if I am legally obligated to sign it. I am looking for guidance on the legality of physician employment agreements and whether or not I am required to sign one.
Daniel D.
Physician employment agreements are not required by Law but that does not mean they are not required by the Employer. Employers have these agreements in place to set the terms of the employment regarding salary, length of employment and any other relevant terms that they want the employee to agree to. But, that also means you as the employee could negotiate provisions into the agreement that you want if the employer is willing to put them in. You legally don't have to sign one, but your future employer can still require a signed agreement. Before you sign anything you should make sure you understand the terms and provisions of the agreement.
Employment
Contractor Agreement
Washington
How is performance evaluated in a contractor agreement?
I am a small business owner looking to hire a contractor for a project. I want to ensure that the performance of the contractor is evaluated fairly so that I can make sure I am getting the best value for my money. I am interested in understanding how performance evaluations are laid out in a contractor agreement.
Merry K.
When drafting an independent contractor agreement, including terms to evaluate the contractor's performance is essential for ensuring quality and accountability. It's important to ensure that these terms are clear, achievable, and fair. Both parties should agree upon these terms before work commences. It's often advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the agreement is legally sound and aligns with both parties' interests. Performance Standards: Define clear, measurable standards for the work. Milestones and Deadlines: Establish specific project milestones and deadlines. Regular Reviews: Schedule periodic reviews for progress checks and feedback. Quality Requirements: Specify quality standards and industry regulations to be met. Communication: Outline expectations for responsiveness and communication frequency. Reporting: Require regular progress reports from the contractor. Performance Metrics: Include specific metrics for evaluating work quality, efficiency, and cost management. Amendment for Improvement: Allow agreement modification for performance improvement plans. Termination for Unsatisfactory Performance: Define conditions for contract termination due to poor performance. Evaluation Methodology: Describe how and by whom the contractor’s performance will be evaluated. Dispute Resolution: Provide a process for resolving performance-related disputes. Confidentiality: Emphasize the importance of confidentiality in project details and evaluations.

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.
Employment
Noncompete Agreement
Colorado
Can I get out of my noncompete agreement?
I am looking at my options.
Donya G.
You may be able to be released from a non compete. You would have to review the language in the non compete to see the expiration. DISCLAIMER The answers to these questions do not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with the attorney and anyone who reviews these responses.
Employment
Employment Contract
Washington
Can my employer change the terms of my employment contract without my consent?
I have been working for a company for the past three years, and my employment contract clearly outlines my job responsibilities, salary, and benefits. However, recently my employer informed me that they are planning to make changes to my contract, including reducing my salary and removing certain benefits. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether my employer can modify the terms of my contract without my consent.
Merry K.
I'm sorry to hear about this proposed change. Whether or not your employer can make such changes unilaterally depends almost entirely on how your contract is written. For example, if your contract clearly states that you are an "at will" employee, your employer can not only make whatever changes it wants, but can also discipline you or terminate you with no reason at all and only a one second advance notice. If it's not an "at will" contract, there may be a paragraph or two that addresses amendments to the agreement - eg, some such contracts may say that an employer can make changes with two weeks advance written notice; another may say that changes will be negotiated in advance between employer and employee. You may want to have an employment attorney, such as myself, review your contract as well as any recent correspondence you may have received from your employer. You may also want to try to very quietly try to find out whether or not other employees are possibly in the same boat as you - it's possible that the employer is cutting back on some benefits to save money, rather than laying off or terminating some or all of their employees. Good luck to you - and if you'd like to reach out to me, you can find me through ContractsCounsel.com or on WSBA.org Please be aware that the above information is provided for educational purposes only, and no attorney/client relationship has been formed Merry A.
