Employee Rights
Employee Confidentiality Agreement
Ohio
Can an Employee Confidentiality Agreement prevent me from discussing workplace issues with colleagues outside of work?
I recently signed an Employee Confidentiality Agreement with my employer, which prohibits me from disclosing any confidential information about the company or its operations. However, I am curious to know if this agreement also prevents me from discussing workplace issues or concerns with my colleagues outside of work, as I believe that open communication is essential in addressing and resolving any potential problems within the organization. I want to ensure I am not violating any terms of the agreement while still being able to engage in meaningful discussions with my coworkers.
Paul S.
It's actually illegal for an employer to restrict workers from discussing workplace issues and conditions among themselves, under the National Labor Relations Act.
Employee Rights
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.
Employee Rights
Compensation Agreement
California
Can I negotiate the terms of a compensation agreement with my employer?
I recently received a job offer from a new employer, and they have presented me with a compensation agreement that outlines my salary, benefits, and other financial arrangements. While I am excited about the opportunity, I have some concerns about certain aspects of the agreement, such as the bonus structure and non-compete clause. I would like to know if it is possible to negotiate these terms with my employer before accepting the offer, and if so, what steps should I take to initiate the negotiation process?
Jared S.
Yes, you can negotiate the terms of your employment agreement in California. Common negotiable terms include salary, benefits, job duties, severance packages, non-compete clauses, and confidentiality provisions. California law also provides certain protections, such as restrictions on non-compete agreements and rules governing overtime and wages, which can influence the negotiation process.
Employee Rights
Sales Commission Agreement
California
Can a sales commission agreement be enforced if it was not signed by both parties?
I work as a sales representative for a company and recently discovered that my commission structure was changed without my knowledge or consent. I was never given a new sales commission agreement to sign, and the changes were only communicated to me verbally. I have been receiving reduced commission payments for the past few months, and I am wondering if the original commission agreement can still be enforced even though it was not signed by both parties, or if the verbal changes are legally binding.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm sorry for your situation. Generally, an agreement can be enforced by the actions of the parties, by written agreement, or by oral agreement. Hello! I'm sorry for your situation. Generally, an agreement can be enforced by the actions of the parties, by a written agreement, or by oral agreement. In your case, you mentioned that the changes were communicated to you verbally. Assuming that the agreement you had was not for some fixed term and did not require advanced written notice, changes to the agreement are generally going to be legally allowed. The best thing to do is to check your original agreement to see if it was for a fixed term or if changes needed specific procedures (e.g., written notice). Happy trails!
Employee Rights
Employment Contract
New York
Can an employer change the terms of employee benefits without providing notice or obtaining consent?
I work for a small company that has recently made some changes to our employee benefits package without any prior notice or consultation with the employees. The changes include reducing the amount of paid time off, increasing the employee contribution for health insurance, and eliminating certain retirement benefits. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether the employer has the right to alter the terms of our benefits without providing any notice or obtaining our consent.
Damien B.
If you have an employment contract, the employer must adhere to the terms of that agreement. Similarly, if the company has an employee handbook, changes to benefits must align with the policies outlined therein. Courts may consider an employee handbook as a binding contract if it creates an expectation of certain benefits. If your benefits are guaranteed in a written contract or employee handbook and the employer did not follow proper procedures to make changes, you may have a claim for breach of contract. Employers are generally encouraged to provide clear communication and advance notice of benefit changes to maintain trust and compliance with legal and policy obligations. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.
