Employment Legal Questions and Answers
Employment
Severance Agreement And Release
Colorado
Can a Colorado employer change the date of termination on a severance agreement and release notice that says "draft"?
I was recently given a Severance Agreement and Release from my company. My position will end in May. Because the agreement says "draft" and has not been signed, I am unsure if the company can come back with a revised version saying my last day will be sooner.
Demetre K.
The short answer is that they probably can. Colorado is an at-will employment state, meaning your employer can generally change the terms of your employment, including your termination date, at any time and for any lawful reason. Since the agreement is marked "draft" and hasn't been signed by either party, there is no binding contract locking in that May end date. That said, this is the general rule. If you have an employment agreement, offer letter, or other written documentation that guarantees a specific termination date or notice period, that could change the analysis. You would want to review any such documents carefully to confirm whether your employer has already committed to specific terms. There are also some important protections worth knowing about in this context: If you are 40 years of age or older and the severance agreement asks you to waive age discrimination claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), your employer must comply with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). Among other things, the OWBPA requires that you be given at least 21 days to review and consider the agreement before signing, or 45 days if you are being terminated as part of a group layoff or reduction in force. You also get a 7-day revocation period after signing during which you can change your mind. Here is the part that may relate to your question: if your employer makes a material change to the agreement, such as moving up your termination date, the review period starts over. So even if you have been sitting with the draft for a couple of weeks, a revised version with a new termination date would likely give you a fresh 21 or 45 day window to consider the updated terms. ***This response is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship.

Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement
Florida
Version: Can an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement prevent me from discussing workplace harassment with others?
Version: Can an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement prevent me from discussing workplace harassment with friends, family, or other colleagues, as I have recently experienced harassment at my workplace and want to seek support and advice from trusted individuals outside of the company? I am concerned that the agreement I signed when I started my employment may restrict my ability to talk about these issues and potentially hinder my efforts to address and resolve the harassment situation.
Dimitry K.
The answer here is strongly dependent on the language itself within the non-disclosure agreement. For example if there is language pertaining to disparagement, such terms often do limit the ability to communicate information with third parties, with some limitations such as law enforcement, federal agencies, or legal representation. Without reviewing your specific agreement it is hard to give a clear answer but it is a distinct possibility that the language can indeed restrict communication with third parties, especially if you received some manner of financial benefit from signing the agreement with the employer.
Employment
Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement
New York
Can an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement prevent me from sharing my negative experiences with a company on social media?
I recently left my previous job at a company and signed an Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) during my employment. While working there, I experienced a toxic work environment, witnessed unethical practices, and was subjected to discrimination. I want to share my experiences on social media to warn others and potentially seek support, but I'm concerned that the NDA I signed may prevent me from doing so. Can the NDA legally restrict me from sharing my negative experiences with the company on social media?
Danny J.
Employee Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) can indeed impact your ability to share certain information, but their scope and enforceability can be complex: 1. Purpose of NDAs: Typically protect confidential business information, not personal experiences. 2. Scope: The specific language in your NDA determines what information is covered. 3. Public interest: Some courts may not enforce NDAs that conceal illegal or unethical practices. 4. Whistleblower protections: Certain laws may protect disclosures of wrongdoing. 5. Defamation risks: Even without an NDA, false statements could lead to legal issues. However, the specifics of your situation require careful analysis: - The exact terms of your NDA - Nature of the information you want to share - Applicable state and federal laws - Potential risks and consequences Given the complexities and potential legal implications, it would be prudent to have a legal professional review your specific NDA and circumstances. As an experienced employment law attorney, I could: 1. Analyze your NDA's terms and enforceability 2. Advise on your rights and potential risks 3. Explore legal options for addressing your concerns 4. Guide you on how to proceed safely Would you like to discuss your situation in detail and explore your options for sharing your experiences while minimizing legal risks?
Employment
Noncompete Agreement
Connecticut
Noncompete agreement and change of control?
I recently accepted a new position with a company that has requested that I sign a noncompete agreement. I understand the agreement and the limitations it puts on me, but I am concerned about how the agreement would be affected if the company is sold or changes ownership in the future. I would like to understand my legal rights in the event of a change of control.
Thomas L.
If the future company buys the equity of your current employer, the Non-Compete continues in effect. If the future company buys the assets, the Non-Compete is terminated. I would request a sentence be added to the effect that "if there is a change of control of the Company (meaning more than 50% of the equity interest or 50% of the voting equity control) is sold or transferred, then this Non-Compete Agreement is terminated.
Employment
Employment Offer
Florida
Are employment offer letters standardized?
I recently received an employment offer from a company and I'm wondering if the language in the offer letter is standard or if I should be wary of any particular clauses. I'm eager to accept the offer, but I want to make sure that I'm not agreeing to anything that could later be detrimental to me.
Gill D.
Offer letters generally have similar language in that they offer you a specific job at a specific price point. However, these letters are not always standardized and you should read the letter carefully to understand what is being offered.
