Employment Contract Review
We often hear people tell us years after signing an employment agreement that they wish they had not done so, but often it is too late at that point.
If you are a new employee being asked to sign an employment agreement for the first time, or an existing employee being asked to sign a new employment agreement, it is a good idea to get legal advice before you sign.
Sometimes there is nothing of concern in a given employment agreement, but often there is. There are many things employers can slip into employment agreements which seem harmless, but which can have a major impact on your rights, both during the employment relationship and when it ends.
If you are an existing employee, you should be especially cautious if your employer is pushing to have you sign an agreement on a short timeline and/or they do not seem to want you to get legal advice. Often if something seems fishy, it is fishy.
If you have already signed an employment agreement and you think it might limit your rights, we still suggest you come in and have it reviewed, because there is often still something we can do to help protect your rights.
