Physician Employment Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 20, 2023

How to amend a physician employment agreement?

I am a physician who has recently been offered a position with a new practice. The offer came with a physician employment agreement that I need to sign. However, after further review of the agreement I have identified some changes that I would like to make to the terms of the agreement. I am seeking advice from a lawyer on how to amend the agreement to ensure that my interests are properly represented.

Erdal T.

Answered Jun 27, 2023

I am an employment attorney who regularly deals with employment agreements, including those involving physicians. Let me know which provisions concern you. My fee structure depends on the level of my involvement. We can discuss more in an initial phone call to go over your submission.

Noncompete Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 4, 2023

Noncompete agreement and industry restrictions?

I recently signed a Noncompete Agreement with my current employer. I am looking to explore other opportunities in my industry and want to know what restrictions my noncompete agreement might have on me. I am interested in understanding the limitations of the agreement and if there are any potential implications of taking a job in the same industry.

Danielle G.

Answered Jul 11, 2023

In order to ascertain the limitations and implications, you would need to review the specific language of the agreement. If the non-compete is very broad, it's possible it would not be enforceable. In New York, for a non-compete agreement to be enforceable, it must be for a reasonable period of time and limited geographic scope. It also must protect the employer's legitimate interest. For example, the restrictions must protect confidential information or specialized skills you gained while on the job, or some other legitimate interest. If the agreement goes beyond those limitations, a court could find the non-complete to be unreasonable and unenforceable, in whole or in part. As to what restrictions your specific non-compete imposes (and the reasonableness of those restrictions), you would need to look at the specific language in the agreement. If you are unsure about the limitations, you should seek advice of counsel to help decipher the extent it would apply to your industry in general, and the likelihood it would be enforceable in court.

Employment Contract

Florida

Asked on Feb 23, 2023

Do I have to provide my employees with a paycheck stub?

We find employee pay stubs laying around in the warehouse and left in company vehicles

Diane D.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

Florida doesn't require employers to provide a pay stub with a paycheck, nor do they have to offer them in electronic format. Pay stub legislation in Florida instead defaults to federal laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Employment Agreement

California

Asked on Jul 27, 2022

In California, Is a Non-Circumvention agreement signed as an employee be enforceable if the employer lays off said employee?

As an employee I was presented and signed a Non-Disclosure & Non-Circumvention agreement. I was recently told that Friday July 29, 2022 is my last day solely because the employer can no longer afford my position. They have also presented the idea of hiring me as an independent contractor. In the proposal, my current employer reminded me of the signed agreement. I would like to know if I sign the agreement for contracted work, is the Non-Circumvention agreement still valid since the Employer Employee relationship has ceased at no fault of the employee?

Howard B.

Answered Aug 21, 2022

You will need to talk to someone in California, specifically. I am not licensed in your state. Generally, it is possible for terms of an agreement to service termination of other aspects of the agreement. This comes up in employment contracts all the time. The answer to your question most likely exists in the text of your agreement. Take that to a local attorney - aside from the text in the document, there may well be case law in California that would set an upper limit on how long such restrictions can last.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

View Trustpilot Review

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

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.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
