Can I leave a internship off of my resume; I was there for less than 3 months?

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
There is no legal requirement that you include anything on your resume.  Of course, if a potential employer questions the gap in employment, it could look bad that you left it out.

I need help understanding a non compete clause

Answered 10 years and 2 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
I think it means that you won't work anywhere that is within 50 miles of any clinic your current employer operates, and I think that it is therefore overbroad and unenforceable as written (also for the reason that the language you quoted doesn't specify that you can't engage in any competing business, but any business at all; literally read, this would prevent you from operating a McDonalds)....

Answered 11 years and 8 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
As a salaried or any other kind of employee, you should get whatever compensation you and your employer agree upon, subject to statutory restrictions (minimum wage, etc.)  I am aware of no statute which mandates overtime pay for salaried employees, so if you want overtime pay you will have to negotiate that right with your employer....

Wrongful discharge of employment.

Answered 13 years and 3 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
Connecticut, where you were apparently employed, is an at-will state. That means an employer may terminate employment for any reason or no reason at all, at any time. Having once set the standards for hiring, the employer may impose higher standards for retention -- again, at any time, without notice, and without needing a good reason or any reason. Your inquiry does not suggest any illegality.... Read More

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
Your facts, unfortunately, do not set forth a claim against your employer. In Connecticut, employment is on an at-will basis, which means that an employee's employment may be terminated at any time for any reason or no reason at all. The rudeness and nastiness that you witnessed and possibly experienced do not give you the right to continue employment after your employer determines otherwise.... Read More

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
Connecticut's whistleblower law does not protect you in these circumstances. Generally, the misconduct reported by the whistleblower must involve a violation of law. "Verbal abuse" doesn't violate any law in Connecticut.
