• Non-compete Agreement
  A non-compete agreement is a document designed to prevent employees in niche fields from taking their knowledge from one company and applying that knowledge to a competing company or starting their own competing company. That said, in some cases, these agreements are too broad in scope or geography and may impact an employee’s future prospects unfairly. This is why it’s always wise to speak with an employment agreement lawyer before signing any such agreement.
• Severance Agreement
  Severance agreements are typically offered by employers when laying off employees. Essentially, a severance agreement is a contract that offers employees a certain amount of pay for a pre-determined period of time to help them financially as they look for a new job. While this sounds great, when a person signs a severance agreement, it will likely prohibit them from ever taking any legal action against the company (such as filing a wrongful termination claim).
