Florida Employment Contracts, Non-Compete Agreements and
Severance Agreements are often written in a "one-sided" manner which
benefits the employer and limits an employee's rights. Before
signing an employment contract or employment-related
agreement, employees should have such agreements reviewed by an
employment lawyer so that the employee learns and understands the
effect such contract / agreement will have upon the employee and his
or her legal rights. Employers typically have
lawyers who look out for and protect the best interest of their client
- the employer. Employees should seek out legal counsel during
the decision-making process rather than waiting until a crisis
occurs. At Sigman & Sigman, P.A., we call this "employment
planning." Just as people engage in financial planning,
employee should look at employment-related decisions with an
informed understanding of what they are signing, where they stand,
and where they will stand in the future in their employment.
More and more executives, managers, salespersons, professionals, and
other employees are becoming sophisticated in their pre-employment
and post-employment contract negotiations, and obtaining solid
employment contract footing for themselves prior to the employment,
during employment and at the conclusion of employment. Often
prior to employment, employers who need the services of a particular
person will agree in writing to a particular severance pay /
severance package in the event that the employment later terminates.
Such pre-planning can yield great benefit and solace to employees
when unexpected termination later occurs.
Non-Competition agreements are
enforceable in Florida when they comply with the requirements of the
applicable Florida statutes. Employees should not sign
non-competition agreements under the "belief" that those agreements
will later be ignored, invalid or not enforced. Many employees
sign non-competition agreements without seeking legal counsel, and
later learn that their beliefs about enforceability were incorrect.
There is a great deal of incorrect information about non-compete
agreements passed around in co-worker communications. Each
non-competition agreement is unique and should be analyzed in light
of the particular facts and circumstances of the employment, events,
and industry in question.
Before signing any employment-related
agreements / contracts,
Sigman & Sigman, Attorneys at Law recommends that
employees contact an employment lawyer to review and explain the document
and the options that the employee may have.
