You need to see an employment attorney. If you are at will, you can be discharged at any time without cause. However, you would be required to give 6 months notice. I do not think that they would pursue a claim against you if you left sooner as long as it was not for a competing business.

I don't know about the 6-month notice. A six-month non-compete would be more standard. I would still give 2-weeks notice and not worry about it.

An at will employee is an employee that can be fired for any reason, or no reason, but not for any illegal reason (race, gender, national origin, religion, etc.) At will employees also typically have the right to quit a job when they want to.

What rights would my ex have to the couch?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Georges Herman Shers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers
If it was given to you as a gift, they have no legal rights. If it was lent to you while she lived with you, they are entitled to have it back. Is it worth going through the headaches of fighting with her instead of just letting them pick it up?

Generally, you are out of luck unless you have a warranty. But, you may have a remedy if the seller fraudulently induced you to buy the vehicle. Check with a local lawyer.

Is there such a thing as an oral contract for ownership of a vehicle?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
More information is needed before if it can be determined if it falls under the statute of frauds. It will depend on the amount of the loan and how long the loan is expected to last.

I would need to look at the contract to be sure, but generally speaking the person who signs the contract is liable. In a community property state like Nevada, the signer's spouse would also be liable.

I would change the terminology on your agreement to identify the person signing as the client and get rid of the reference to the bride. Even so, if a person signed the agreement, I think they are on the hook even if not the bride.

Is it legal for an employer to change your health insurance without your knowledge?

Answered 12 years ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
Yes, legal in GA. Employer does not need your consent. Employers offer the insurance, they may change any way that they wish, so long as the policy complies with the law. As to the $6000 deduct-able, I suspect that is legal, but I do not know. Like any other employment benefit issue, if you do not like this, your remedy is to find another job. The new plan must be legal - you are on your own to figure that one out. Many plans were declared illegal because they were sham policies - like no hospital coverage.... Read More

Can I sue a car dealer for selling me a car without airbag and with salvage title?

Answered 12 years ago by Thomas Edward Gates (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
If you can prove the dealer tapes over the light, yes. However, there is not much money to be had here and, it likely will cost you more to take them to court. It would be best if you can get your money back. Next time, have the car checked out before you purchase it. CARFAX could have told you the car was totaled.... Read More
