Employment Legal Questions and Answers
Employment
Independent Contractor Agreement
New York
What are the key provisions that should be included in an Independent Contractor Agreement?
I recently started working as an independent contractor for a company, and I have been asked to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement. I want to ensure that I am protected and that my rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the contract. I have heard that there are certain key provisions that should be included in such an agreement, but I am not sure what they are. I want to seek legal advice to understand what provisions should be included in the agreement to protect my interests and ensure a fair working relationship with the company.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Some key provisions of an independent contract agreement include the scope of work and the payment terms. An important provision discusses intellectual property rights. Define who owns any work product, intellectual property, or inventions created during the contract. Consider whether you want to retain rights to your pre-existing work or methodologies. There are other provisions also such as Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses. You may want an attorney to review your full Agreement to suggest additions or edits. Feel free to reach out with any more questions!
Employment
Employment Agreement
California
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.
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.
Employment
Dental Associate Contract
Florida
Dental associate contract working hours?
I am a dental associate who is considering signing a contract with a dental practice. I am interested in understanding the working hours that are outlined in the contract, so that I can make an informed decision about the position. I want to make sure that the working hours are reasonable and that I am fully aware of my obligations before signing the contract.

Without seeing the contract and without knowing exactly what you are looking for, it is impossible to answer your question.
Employment
Severance Agreement
Ohio
Can my employer modify the terms of my severance agreement after I have signed it?
I recently signed a severance agreement with my employer, which outlined the terms and conditions of my departure from the company, including a monetary compensation package. However, my employer has now informed me that they want to modify certain aspects of the agreement. I am unsure if they have the legal right to do so, and I am seeking clarification on whether my employer can make changes to the severance agreement after it has been signed.
Gary S.
Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this question. In general, NO, once a severance agreement has been signed by both the employer and the employee, the agreement cannot be modified. However, if the employer hasn't yet signed the agreement, and only the employee has signed the agreement, the employer may suggest modified terms as part of the negotiation. Also, if the agreement has been executed by both parties and the agreement contains a revocation period, the employee (or possibly the employer) may still be able to revoke the agreement within a certain number of days. The agreement would have to be reviewed to see if it has a revocation clause. Bottom line, if both parties have signed a validly executed severance agreement, the employer cannot unilaterally modify the terms of the agreement, unless the agreement states otherwise. * This response is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. For advice specific to your situation, please consult a qualified attorney.

Physician Employment Agreement
Connecticut
Physician employment agreement accounting treatment?
I am a physician who has been offered an employment agreement with a healthcare provider. I am looking to understand the accounting treatment of this agreement. I am interested in ensuring that the agreement is in compliance with all applicable accounting regulations and that I am properly compensated for my services.
Thomas L.
There are a number of issues in such agreements. You are probably an employee rather than a contractor of the provider.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
