Re: Breaking Contract Payment Terms

More | Report Post

If that is what your Agreement reads, they are in violation
of the terms of the Agreement. When one party wishes to
amend an Agreement, all parties to the Agreement must agree
to the changes; read, they cannot demand the change. Just
becuase they are your employer does not give them the right
to violate the terms of the Agreement.

You can offer to accept their desired change with the
stipulation they remove the non-compete. An amendment, or
new Agreement, will be drawn up. If you are reviewing this
new document without an attorney, complete a side by side
review to ensure they do not insert other restrictions or
remove amything that was not agreed to previously.

Since you thinking about suggesting they remove the non-
compete clause, I would hope your current Agreement hammers
out the term of your employment.
