Employee Rights Legal Questions and Answers
Employee Rights
Termination Letter
Arizona
Can an employer terminate an employee without providing a termination letter?
I recently got terminated from my job without receiving a termination letter, and I am unsure if this is legal. I had been working at the company for several years and had a good performance record. However, I was suddenly called into a meeting with my supervisor and informed that my employment was being terminated, but no termination letter was provided to me. I am curious to know if it is mandatory for employers to issue a termination letter and if not, what are my rights as an employee in this situation?
Richard C.
Yes, what your employer done is generally legal as AZ is an employment at will state. However, as to any rights you may have, you should thoroughly review any applicable employment agreement you may have entered into. Further, any civil rights violations, unpaid wages, and or paid stock time violations should also be considered due to the statutes of limitations pertaining to those issues.
Employee Rights
Arbitration Agreement
Washington
Can an arbitration agreement prevent me from taking legal action against my employer for workplace discrimination?
I have recently discovered evidence of workplace discrimination at my job, including instances of unequal treatment, harassment, and retaliation. I have read through my employment contract and noticed that it includes an arbitration agreement, which states that any disputes between me and my employer must be resolved through arbitration rather than through the court system. I am concerned that this agreement may prevent me from pursuing legal action against my employer for the discrimination I have experienced. I would like to know if the arbitration agreement is enforceable in this situation and if it can prevent me from seeking justice through the legal system.
Merry K.
Speaking generally, an arbitration agreement in an employment contract often won't be upheld unless it clearly and specifically addresses your rights under both the Washington State Law Against Discrimination and your various employment law protections under federal law. Please be aware that in Washington, you can file a complaint with the Washington State Human Rights Commission, and ask the agency to automatically file on your behalf with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (I worked for the HRC three times, and was also a Tacoma Human Rights Commissioner, and have a long history in this field). I would be happy to help you with a phone consultation and perhaps help you write up a complaint (the agencies will want to write their own, but you should come in with a time line and complaint draft pre-written so you don't forget anything; you should also bring in a list of witnesses and list of people treated differently from you, if applicable). Please keep in mind that both agencies have long waiting lists and both are neutral - neither represents you. To file in state court, you can skip the HRC; to file in federal court, it's a mandatory prerequisite to first file with the EEOC and obtain a "right to sue" letter. Another option for you is to schedule a consultation with an employment attorney through NELA.org - there are NELA attorneys in every state.
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 Agreement
California
I have a question about California severance pay
Just received a notice from company for an immediate layoff
Christopher M.
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.
Employee Rights
Employment Termination Letter
Washington
Can you explain the legal process and potential liabilities involved in terminating employees?
I am the owner of a small business and I am currently facing the difficult decision of terminating several employees due to financial constraints caused by the ongoing pandemic. While I understand the necessity of downsizing, I want to ensure that I am following the correct legal process and minimizing any potential liabilities that may arise from terminating employees. I would greatly appreciate it if you could explain the legal steps involved in terminating employees, including any notice requirements, severance packages, and potential legal risks that I should be aware of.
Merry K.
I am sorry to hear about the financial difficulties. If the employees are "at will" (that is, no employment contract) you can terminate or lay them off with zero advance notice and zero reason given and no requirement for severance. The exceptions would be if you were violating the law (for example, if you only terminated people of color). If you have 100 or more employees and are terminating 50 or more, you would need to provide advance notice. If any employee has an employment contract, you will need to read the contract carefully and follow any termination requirements, such as a particular length of notice or a severance package - again, only if you have promised to do so in an employment (or other) contract. I would be available to help you through a Contracts Counsel project, but unfortunately the soonest I'd be available is January 24th, because of other commitments.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
