Q. worplace sexual harassment, intimidation, discrimination, workplace injury

May 25, 2023

A: You should contact an experienced employment law attorney for a free consultation to review the facts of your case. Beyond the workers comp issue, sexual harassment, intimidation, and discrimination in the workplace are very serious issues. Discuss the evidence of your work experience with an employment attorney, and they will advise you on next steps.

Q. Should I inform my current employer of my pre existing clinical depression, or keep it to my self?

April 19, 2023

A: It is illegal for your employer to terminate you on the basis of a medical diagnosis. However, if you feel you need to negotiate accommodations for your job based on your medical diagnosis, it may be worth coming forward. However, your employer will still expect you to be fully competent at your job. It is not illegal for them to terminate your employment if you are not meeting the expectations of your job duties. Contact an employment lawyer for more detailed advice on your situation.

Q. Employee Non-Competition and Confidential Information Agreement" enforcement.

April 19, 2023

A: To answer with 100% certainty, an employment lawyer would need to review the terms of the original agreement. However, most non-competitive agreements are valid for a two year period. Given that the document is now more than twenty years old, it is likely unenforceable. Again, for absolute certainty, ask an employment attorney to review it for you.
