Employee Separation Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jun 29, 2023

Employee separation agreement and consulting arrangements?

I am an employer who is looking to separate from an employee. I am interested in exploring the possibility of providing a consulting arrangement as part of the separation agreement. I am interested in understanding the legal implications of such an arrangement, as well as any potential liabilities or obligations that may arise from such an agreement.

Shelia H.

Answered Jul 11, 2023

While it may seem convenient to offer a consulting arrangement as part of the separation agreement, it is usually better to have the separation agreement completely detached from the consulting agreement. The separation agreement should focus on issues pertaining to the former employment, including pay, confidentiality of trade secrets, return of employer property, etc. The new consulting agreement should look forward, establishing the expectations between the party. If the separation and consulting agreements are in one agreement, there is an increased likelihood of confusion between the old job and the new job.

Employment Contract

North Carolina

Asked on Apr 18, 2023

What's termination notice in an employment contract?

I recently accepted a job offer with a new company and I was given an employment contract to sign. I was looking through the contract and noticed that it mentions something about a termination notice. I'm not sure what this means or how it applies to my employment, so I wanted to ask a lawyer to get a better understanding of this clause.

Ryan D.

Answered May 30, 2023

A termination notice is a provision in an employment contract that specifies the amount of notice an employer must give an employee if they wish to terminate the contract, or vice versa if the employee wishes to leave. This is an important clause, as it offers some level of job security for the employee and some level of predictability for the employer. In most states, including North Carolina, employment is considered "at-will" unless there is a contract in place that states otherwise. This means that either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, as long as the reason isn't illegal (like discrimination). If your contract includes a termination notice clause, this "at-will" status is likely modified to some extent. The specific details would depend on the exact wording in your contract. It could require either party to provide a notice (often 2 weeks, 1 month, or sometimes longer) before terminating the contract. That notice period is intended to give the other party time to adjust plans accordingly. For the employee, it might mean finding a new job; for the employer, it might mean finding a replacement.

Employee Contract

Texas

Asked on Jul 15, 2023

What are the worst states to hire 1099 independent contractors from because the state will likely classify as an employee?

I'm starting a 1099 remote-based staffing service and I want to stay away from hiring independent contractors with primary residency in states that are unfriendly toward their hiring. I don't want any misclassification issues so I want to stay away from those states altogether.

Merry A.

Answered Aug 13, 2023

I'm a Washington State attorney and my answer does not constitute legal advice, and no attorney/client relationship has been formed. If the person working for you will be working remotely from his or her state, the employment law of that state will govern whether the person will be considered an employee or indepedent contractor. Regardless of where that person works, what will be most important is how your contract with that person is written, and how much you try to control the person's work hours, duties, and so forth. Speaking generally, an independent contractor should be given certain work, and a dealine and expectations, and be allowed to work at 2:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. and report amount of time worked, such as 8/13/23 1.6 hours. If you have set times for work, such as 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, a court will be more likely to find that the person is an employee, not an independent contractor. If you will be using a person to work in another state, I highly recommend that you consult with an employment attorney in that state to review any paperwork you use, such as an employment contract or work contract with an independent contractor. You can find such attorneys through "lawyer referral" through the state bar association in most states, or you can try finding employment attorneys through this national organization: NELA.org Although the analysis of an employee's/independent contractor will vary from state to state, here are two articles from the US Department of Labor that may provide some general guidance to you. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa/misclassification and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/13-flsa-employment-relationship I hope that I have been of help. I am an employment attorney in Washington State, and can review documents for Washington State but generally do not do any document drafting.

Stock Option Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Jul 20, 2023

Stock option agreement confidentiality?

I recently signed a Stock Option Agreement with my employer. After signing the agreement, I was provided with a confidentiality clause. I am concerned about the terms of this clause, and what it means for my ability to discuss the agreement with others. I am seeking advice on the potential legal implications of this clause, and what I can and cannot do.

Thomas L.

Answered Aug 11, 2023

Confidentiality clauses are becoming regulated by the various states. At a minimum, your clause (regardless of what it says) will not prevent you from talking to a lawyer or to government officials.

Employee Separation Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on May 31, 2023

Employee separation agreement and notice periods?

I am an employee who is currently in the process of resigning from my current position. I have been offered a separation agreement from my current employer which outlines the terms of my departure. I am looking for clarity on the notice period that must be included in the agreement, as well as any other requirements that must be fulfilled in order to ensure a smooth and compliant transition.

Shelia H.

Answered Jul 11, 2023

North Carolina is an at-will state, meaning that either party can terminate the work relationship at any time, as long as that termination is not done illegally...for instance, as the result of employment discrimination. If you have a contract with an employer, then you are bound by the terms of the contract. For instance, if the contract states that you must provide 30 days notice prior to termination, then if you don't provide the notice, you could be in breach of the contract. In regards to what must be in the agreement, the employer can't provide false or misleading information. If the employee is over 40, then the employer must provide at least 21 days for the employee to review the agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.
