Employee Employment Agreements

Orlando Employment Agreement  Attorney - Lawyer, providing experienced Employment Agreement, Labor Law, and Employment Law legal Services in Orlando, Orange County, and the surrounding Central Florida area.

An employment agreement is any document that both the employer and employee signs that stipulates conditions in an employment based situation. It is important to remember that when an employment agreement is written by the employer or the companies legal counsel it is written to protect the employers interests, not necessarily the employees.

Common employment agreements include:

• Employment Contract Agreement for Employment: Typically involves the length of time the employee is contracted to work for the company, the position of the employee in the company, the details of expected services and expectations, salary or monetary compensation of service, and grounds for termination of the Employment Agreement.

• Non-Compete Agreement: Stipulates the restrictions of the employee should the employee voluntarily leave the company or is terminated by the company.

• Severance Agreement: Stipulates the restrictions of the employee should the employee voluntarily leave the company or is terminated by the company, any lump sum monetary compensation, or any future residual income or residuals to be paid by the employer.

While Employment Agreements serve a vital service to both the employer and employee, it is important to remember that any employee should ensure their legal rights are protected. Many Employment Agreements are written in a manner that severely restrict or diminish the ability of the employee to continue to work in his or her chosen field of occupation.

Fortunately the employee does have rights, and there are both State and Federal Laws that protect those rights.

Steven M. Fahlgren represents the rights and goals of those who must address employee employment agreement, labor law, and employment law legal issues in the Orlando, Orange County, and surrounding Central Florida areas. For a confidential legal consultation, please call 904.845.2255.

Even if the employee signs an Employment Agreement, if the document is written in contrast to State and Federal Employment Laws, the agreement may be deemed void and/or unenforceable.

It is always wise to have experienced legal counsel review any Employment Agreement document prior to you signing on the dotted line. However, situations exist that a company an individual chooses to work for will not hire the employee unless they sign the Employment Agreement. Merely bringing up the fact that you want an attorney to review the Employment Agreement before you sign the document may result in not being hired in the first place.

It is a double edged sword... Sign and potentially five up certain rights... Or do not immediately sign and not get the job.

Even if you sign the Employment Agreement, make sure you have a copy made for your personal employment file that you maintain, and ask experienced legal counsel to review your documents and Employment Agreements so that you are fully aware of your legal rights and options should you no longer work for a particular company in the future.
