Contractor Agreement
Washington
How is performance evaluated in a contractor agreement?
I am a small business owner looking to hire a contractor for a project. I want to ensure that the performance of the contractor is evaluated fairly so that I can make sure I am getting the best value for my money. I am interested in understanding how performance evaluations are laid out in a contractor agreement.
Merry K.
When drafting an independent contractor agreement, including terms to evaluate the contractor's performance is essential for ensuring quality and accountability. It's important to ensure that these terms are clear, achievable, and fair. Both parties should agree upon these terms before work commences. It's often advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the agreement is legally sound and aligns with both parties' interests. Performance Standards: Define clear, measurable standards for the work. Milestones and Deadlines: Establish specific project milestones and deadlines. Regular Reviews: Schedule periodic reviews for progress checks and feedback. Quality Requirements: Specify quality standards and industry regulations to be met. Communication: Outline expectations for responsiveness and communication frequency. Reporting: Require regular progress reports from the contractor. Performance Metrics: Include specific metrics for evaluating work quality, efficiency, and cost management. Amendment for Improvement: Allow agreement modification for performance improvement plans. Termination for Unsatisfactory Performance: Define conditions for contract termination due to poor performance. Evaluation Methodology: Describe how and by whom the contractor’s performance will be evaluated. Dispute Resolution: Provide a process for resolving performance-related disputes. Confidentiality: Emphasize the importance of confidentiality in project details and evaluations.

Noncompete Agreement
New York
Noncompete agreement breach consequences?
I recently left my job as an employee at a company that I had worked for for over a year. I was asked to sign a noncompete agreement when I began the job, which I did. I have since started a new job in the same industry as my former employer, which is in violation of the noncompete agreement. I am now wondering what the consequences of this breach of contract may be and am seeking legal advice.
Gregory F.
I would be happy to schedule a paid telephone consultation with you to review the non-compete agreement, advise you on its scope and enforceability, and answer your questions. Please contact me via email at greg@fidlonlegal.com to discuss.

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.
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.

Employment Contract
North Carolina
What's position hierarchy in an employment contract?
I am a potential employee considering a job offer from a company. I have received a copy of the employment contract, but I am confused about the position hierarchy outlined in it. Specifically, I am unsure of the differences between the various job titles and the roles and responsibilities associated with each one. I would like to know more about the position hierarchy in the contract to better understand the job I am considering.
N'kia N.
Position hierarchy may vary, as it is typically based on such factors as industry standards, company size, and internal policies. Before accepting an employment offer, a prospective employee should have a clear understanding of where the proposed position stands in the prospective employer's position hierarchy, as well as how the hierarchy affects the duties and responsibilities for that position. If the position hierarchy in a proposed employment contract or an employment offer letter is confusing, the prospective employee should seek clarification from the proposed employer.

Employee Separation Agreement
California
Are employee separation agreements required?
I recently left my job after two years of employment and my former employer has asked me to sign a separation agreement. I am unsure if I am legally obligated to sign this agreement or if employee separation agreements are required by law. I am hesitant to sign the agreement until I have a better understanding of my rights and obligations.
Gagandeep K.
When an employee leaves a company, an employer can offer severance agreement/separation agreement/termination agreement, where employer offers a severance package to the employee (e.g., lump sum money, extended benefits) in exchange for limiting their liability (e.g., release of certain legal claims, confidentiality provisions). An employee can decide whether to accept the severance agreement as-is, whether to negotiate for more favorable terms or to reject the offer. You may consult an attorney to review the severance agreement to understand your rights, obligations, the benefit you are receiving, and the claims you are waiving.
