Employment Agreement

Oklahoma

Asked on Mar 3, 2023

Are 1099 employees responsible for there own break time and lunch time?

The job im at I am a 1099 employee but they tell us when to get here when our breaks are when our lunch is and when we leave. Doesn't that technically mean that we are W2 workers?

Jonathan K.

Answered Mar 7, 2023

First of all, there is no such thing as a 1099 employee. You are either an independent contractor or an employee. Second, yes, if you are being told when to take a break or have lunch, then you are probably an employee and not an independent contractor.

Employment Contract

Florida

Asked on Apr 17, 2023

What's the safety policy in an employment contract?

I recently accepted a job offer from a new employer and as part of the employment contract, I need to understand the safety policy in the workplace. I understand that safety policies in the workplace are important for the protection of both employees and employers, but I am not sure of the specific details of the safety policy included in my employment contract. I would like to know what safety policies are included in the contract in order to ensure that I have a safe working environment.

Operating Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 7, 2024

What should be included in an operating agreement for a small business?

I am in the process of starting a small business with a partner and we are in the early stages of drafting an operating agreement. We want to ensure that all aspects of our business are properly addressed and that our rights, responsibilities, and decision-making processes are clearly defined. We are seeking guidance on what specific provisions should be included in the operating agreement to protect both of our interests and minimize potential conflicts in the future.

Damien B.

Answered Jun 11, 2024

Hello! Here's some guidance on specific provisions you should consider: Business & Ownership Structure: - Name and Location: Make sure to include the official business name and the state where your LLC is formed. - Membership: List all members of the LLC and their ownership percentages. - Management Structure: Clearly state whether the LLC will be member-managed (all members participate in daily operations) or manager-managed (designated members handle day-to-day operations). Financial Management: - Capital Contributions: Provide details on the initial capital contributions from each member and how future contributions will be handled. - Profit & Loss Sharing: Outline how profits and losses will be distributed among members, taking into account ownership percentages or other factors. - Distributions: Establish rules for how and when members can receive distributions from the business. - Accounting Practices: Define the accounting method used (cash or accrual) and how financial records will be maintained. Decision-Making & Operations: - Voting Rights: Specify voting rights for members, including majority or unanimous voting requirements for different decisions (e.g., admitting new members, taking on debt). - Meetings: Determine the frequency and procedures for member meetings, including how notices will be sent and how votes will be conducted. - Management Duties: If the LLC is manager-managed, clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the managers. Dissolution & Buyouts: - Dissolution Events: List the events that could trigger the dissolution of the LLC (e.g., member death, bankruptcy). - Buyout Provisions: Establish a process for one member to buy out another's interest in the LLC, including valuation methods and potential triggers (e.g., retirement, disability). - Dispute Resolution: Specify a process for resolving disagreements between members, such as mediation or arbitration. Additional Considerations: - Non-Compete Agreements: Consider including a non-compete clause to prevent members from competing with the business after leaving. - Term of Agreement: Decide whether the operating agreement will have a definite term or be perpetual. Seeking Legal Help: While this list provides a starting point, it is highly recommended to consult with a business attorney to customize the operating agreement according to your specific business and state regulations. They can ensure the agreement is legally sound and adequately protects your interests. By incorporating these provisions and seeking legal advice, you and your partner can create a comprehensive operating agreement that minimizes future conflicts and establishes a strong foundation for your small business.

Stock Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Jun 4, 2023

Stock purchase agreement legal requirements?

I am looking to purchase stock in a company and I want to ensure that I am legally protected. I am looking to enter into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the company, and I want to make sure that all legal requirements are met before I sign the agreement. I am looking for advice on what legal requirements need to be met in order for the Stock Purchase Agreement to be legally binding.

Russell M.

Answered Jun 20, 2023

It's important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and specific considerations may vary depending on the circumstances. Consulting with a qualified attorney is crucial to tailor the agreement to your specific needs. Here are some key areas to focus on: 1. Stock Description: Clearly define the shares being purchased, including the class of stock, number of shares, and any special rights or restrictions associated with the shares. You absolutely want to see the full record of the articles of incorporation, bylaws and any possibly existing shareholder agreements that could modify your rights in any way. 2. Purchase Price and Payment Terms: Specify the agreed-upon purchase price, payment structure (e.g., lump sum or installment), and any contingencies or adjustments based on audited financial statements or other factors. 3. The stock sale transaction is approved by the Board of Directors and possibly the Shareholders. You should be able to see the corporate action, either as a Written Consent or a Resolution taken by vote and certified by the corporate Secretary, who is the officer responsible for recording the minutes. 4. Representations and Warranties: Require the seller to make certain representations and warranties regarding the company's financial condition, assets, liabilities, contracts, intellectual property, compliance with laws, and any pending litigation. 5. Conditions Precedent: Specify the conditions that must be met before the transaction can be completed, such as obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, consents, or waivers. 6. Due Diligence: You should conduct thorough due diligence on the company, its financial records, contracts, intellectual property, and any other relevant aspects to identify any potential issues or risks. Generally, an acknowledgement of your access to, and conduct of, due diligence is good to include in the agreement. 7. Proper completion of any securities filing. Particularly if you are not the only investor, past present, or future, you should expect and require the company to be compliant with securities rules. Failure to observe the securities rules is red flag. 8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Determine the governing law and jurisdiction that will apply to the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement. Remember also that if you are investing in a corporation that is incorporated in a state other than where you reside, that state corporation law will generally govern your shareholder rights.

Noncompete Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 12, 2023

Noncompete agreement and business partners?

I am a business owner who has recently acquired a new partner. We are in the process of drafting a Noncompete Agreement to ensure that neither of us will compete against each other in the same market. We are looking for advice on what should be included in the agreement and how it should be enforced.

Daniel D.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

The one thing to make sure with noncompete agreements is that it is reasonable in terms of duration and the area you cannot compete in. Courts use a reasonableness test to determine whether a noncompete agreement is valid. If provisions are deemed to be unreasonable and fail the test, they could be altered or struck out of the agreement.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
