Employment Legal Questions and Answers
Employment
Stock Purchase Agreement
New York
Stock purchase agreement and non-competition clauses?
I am in the process of buying a business and have been asked to sign a Stock Purchase Agreement. I am concerned about the language in the agreement that includes a non-competition clause, and would like to understand the implications of signing the agreement and if there are any potential risks that I should be aware of.
Gregory F.
I would be happy to schedule a paid telephone consultation with you to review the non-compete (and any other provisions in the agreement), advise you on its scope and enforceability, and answer your questions. Please contact me via email at greg@fidlonlegal.com to discuss.
Employment
Arbitration Agreement
Texas
Is an arbitration agreement enforceable if I signed it without fully understanding its implications?
I recently signed an employment contract that included an arbitration agreement, but I did not fully comprehend the implications and consequences of such an agreement. I was not provided with sufficient time to review the contract or seek legal advice before signing. Now I am concerned about the enforceability of the arbitration agreement and whether I have any recourse to challenge it. Can you please advise me on the potential options I have in this situation?
Christopher N.
The short answer is: likely yes. A contract is such that there has to be a "meeting of the minds" as to the terms of contract. Understanding that you were under some pressure from your employer to sign, there is likely a provision that says you read and comprehended the contract overcoming the argument that you did not understand. There are sometimes options to avoid the arbitration clauses, but they are state and contract specific. If the time comes when you think the arbitration clause is going to be trigger, speak with a local employment lawyer to figure out how to pull that trigger. Good luck.
Employment
Employment Handbook
New York
Employment handbook family leave policy?
I recently accepted a position at a new company and I was given an employee handbook to review prior to my start date. I noticed that the handbook does not include any information on family leave policies. I am wondering what the company's policies are related to family leave and how they may affect my employment. I would like to understand my rights and responsibilities as an employee when it comes to family leave.
Gregory F.
Generally, employers must have at least 50 employees at your location or within a 75-mile radius of your location to be covered under the FMLA. Further, employees of covered employers are not eligible for FMLA leave until they have been employed for at least 1 year and have worked at least 1,250 hours within the past 12 months.
Business
Employment Contract
California
What is fixed term employment contract?
I have been given a contract that says 'Fixed Term Employment Contract'. How is this different than a normal employment contract? Is there anything I need to consider before signing this?
Michael M.
This is an agreement that has a fixed amount of years which is agreed to by the employer and the employee. These types of agreements usually have a term of say 1, 2, or 3 years and often are renewable for another fixed term
Employment
Severance Agreement
North Carolina
What is a severance agreement?
I recently accepted a job offer from a new company, but before I start my new position the company has asked me to sign a severance agreement. I'm not familiar with this type of document and am unsure of what it entails. I'm looking to learn more about severance agreements so that I can make an informed decision.
N'kia N.
There are two main types of Severance Agreements. One is signed at the beginning of an employment relationship and the other is signed at the end. When a Severance Agreement is signed at the beginning of an employment relationship, "severance" is what the employer promises to pay (above and beyond the employee's regular wages) when employment terminates i.e. when the parties "sever" ties. The sum of severance pay is typically calculated by how long the employee had been employed by the company at the time of separation. Before signing this type of Severance Agreement, a prospective employee should be sure that it clearly defines all the important terms and conditions. For example, the Severance Agreement may address how long the employee must be employed to become eligible for severance pay, how long after termination the severance pay will be paid, whether severance pay will be paid in a lump sum, and what could cause the employee to forfeit severance pay.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
