Employment Handbook

New York

Asked on May 20, 2023

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.

Answered Jul 6, 2023

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.

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).

Amendment To Employment Contract

Massachusetts

Asked on Nov 23, 2021

Who helps with healthcare employment contracts?

I am a Nurse Practitioner and work for a national wound care company. I have a current employment contract but my company has made an amendment to it which discusses my newer compensation model (work RVU). I would like someone to look over my contract with this amendment. Can you help me find someone. I am in Massachusetts (Springfield area). Thank you

Richard G.

Answered Jan 4, 2022

I would be happy to review your contract. I am a registered nurse myself as well as an attorney and have a great deal of experience in contract review. My flat fee is $300 for this service and would result in a thorough evaluation of all aspects (from a legal perspective) of the current contract and how the amendment alters that legal perspective.

Employment Agreement

Florida

Asked on Nov 3, 2021

Breach of contract?

I’m a nurse practitioner currently employees under a contract in which I was suppose to receive a bonus paid out 30 days after a 12 month period. One week after the 30 days has passed, the Bonus has not been paid. This is consider breach of contract, correct? the contract stipulates I must give 30 days notice prior to quitting. Does this still apply if he is in breach?

Diane D.

Answered Nov 12, 2021

Have you asked about receiving the promised bonus? It may just be late. I would talk to the employer before quitting. And, yes, you must still give the 30 days' notice or you will be in breach. Also, realize, if you quit you may not be entitled to the bonus. I would have to see the contract you signed to actually know what you are entitled to or not.

Contract for Employment

New York

Asked on Nov 22, 2024

Can I hire employees without a written employment contract?

I am a small business owner in the retail industry, and I am considering hiring employees to help me with the day-to-day operations of my store. While I understand the importance of having a written contract to establish the terms and conditions of employment, I am wondering if it is legally acceptable to hire employees without a written employment contract in place. I want to ensure that I am compliant with employment laws and protect both my business and the employees, but I am unsure if a written contract is necessary in this situation.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

While it's legally possible to hire employees without a written employment contract in most states, there are important considerations to keep in mind: 1. At-will employment: Most employment relationships in the U.S. are presumed to be "at-will," meaning either party can terminate the relationship with or without cause or notice. 2. State-specific requirements: Some states, like New York, require written notification of certain employment terms at the time of hiring. 3. Legal protections: A written contract can provide clarity and protection for both the employer and employee, defining terms such as job responsibilities, compensation, and grounds for termination. 4. Industry standards: For certain positions, especially high-level executives, written contracts are more common and often expected. 5. Compliance risks: Without a written contract, you may face challenges in proving compliance with labor laws or defending against potential claims. Given the complexities of employment law and the potential risks involved, it would be prudent to have a thorough legal review of your hiring practices. As an experienced employment law attorney, I could: 1. Assess your specific situation and industry requirements 2. Advise on the pros and cons of using written contracts for your business 3. Develop compliant hiring procedures and documentation 4. Ensure you're meeting all state and federal employment law requirements Would you like to discuss how we can create a legally sound hiring process that protects your business while remaining flexible for your needs?
