Can You Ask For Your Severance All At Once?
Many clients prioritize receiving their severance payment in a lump sum rather than paid over time. What you ask for depends on your priorities.
There's More In Your Severance Than The Money
Improving severance is a top priority for many clients, and there are multiple ways to do so. Here is how to approach the process. #Severance
Accepting a severance package without questioning the layoff can cost you major negotiating leverage. Suspicious termination circumstances give employees leverage to negotiate better severance terms. #Severance
Counteroffering a severance package without legal review means pricing something you have not appraised. An attorney knows how to evaluate your case first. #severance
Signing a broad non-compete can cost you your livelihood. In Texas, the restriction must be reasonable to protect the employer without blocking your ability to make a living. #EmploymentLaw
Your Non-Compete Is A Prenup With Your Employer
Skipping the fine print on a new job offer can cost you later. In most states, especially Texas, non-competes are valid. It is your prenup with your employer. #NonCompete
No, Non-Competes Were Not Banned Nationwide
Assuming non-competes were banned nationwide can lead to costly mistakes. Courts struck down the FTC regulation, so non-competes remain legal and are governed entirely by state law. #EmploymentLaw
Your Job Got Harder Right After You Spoke Up
If your job became harder for unexplained reasons right after you reported harassment, pregnancy, or a medical condition, there can be suspicion of illegal action.
Can Your Boss Force You Back Into The Office?
If a medical condition prevents you from returning to the office full time, your employer's return to office mandate may not be the final word.
