Why not just talk to your union rep? Your CBA likely gives you additional rights anyways.

A quick google found this NYC military leave policy from 2012, maybe it's what they're using. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcas/downloads/pdf/psb/440_11R.PDF Are you not a full-time employee? The policy looks like they pro-rate the 30 days paid leave based on your normal work schedule. Definitely lean on your union for help with this - that's why they're there.

What's the process for finding an attorney, specifically an employment/labor one? Some hinkiness at work means my partner wants to speak with one to make sure she's covering all her bases and documenting what needs to be documented, but outside of google employment attorney and calling the top three hits, I'm not sure there's a better process. I don't really expect there's a case or anything more than a consult and a few hours of work, if that, so maybe it doesn't matter so long as they're basically competent?

Theres plenty of ways to get referrals but none that you have some way of knowing theyre great unless you trust the person giving you one. State bar association is a common place if youre looking for "anyone not currently sanctioned by the car" in employment law.

Google is generally fine, but another trick is to call a family law attorney or something unrelated, and ask them who they'd refer you to for a labor/employment law attorney. Whoever they would use will be good enough for you.

Friend of mine is a bit worried with how much trouble they might be in. They punched someone's windshield in anger, as far as I know they didn't break it. It happened because of car driver not yielding to pedestrians exiting a street car. Passanger of the car apparently filmed it and posted it on their facebook. Anything they should be preparing for?

First of all I'm in Kentucky and I might have signed a non-compete with my current employer. I can't remember. Say if I was hired to a company in California in a similar industry. It would be as a designer for restaurant hospitality IT and the job is to work on similar products from my previous job would that hold up or be too far geographically to be a valid non-compete distance? My current employer also makes money through a different means than the new would be employer. I've also worked on a lot of different products with my current employer. It feels restrictive as a person who wants to stay in my same industry to not be able to switch to a new and better position.

Does the agreement stipulate time and geographic limitations? Very few agreements will be enforced beyond state borders, if that. Is your industry small and highly particularized? How much of a unicorn are you? Did you poach customers? It doesn’t sound like you’ll be directly competing or that your skills are irreplaceable. Find out if you actually signed a noncompete first before you get worried. Look Sir Droids fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Sep 11, 2018 |

I am definitely not irreplaceable and we have another designer on staff. I have no contact with our customers since I'm not in sales. My industry is business to business IT solutions for restaurants. I've mostly worked on front of the house management apps and we have a few market competitors with that app and a few of our other apps, which is one I'm talking to now.

1. It’s unlikely you’ll be sued. Noncompetes are mostly a deterrent because of the chilling effect. The agreement has to spell out time and geographic limitations. An agreement is unlikely to reach more than 200 miles from your employer. 2. If they do sue, I don’t know KY case law, but in TX or TN they would lose because restricting you as far out as CA is too much of a burden on competition. 3. If you never set foot in KY again, hard for them to serve you.

I can't remember. Find out if you signed a non compete and, if you did, then ask an attorney that knows Kentucky law (or whatever state governs the non compete) or ask your new employer to take a look. An attorney that knows his stuff will be cheaper for an hour reviewing the contract than the money/stress involved in getting a demand/threat letter from whoever holds the non compete. The other option is ask your employer. They probably have California attorneys that know non compete in California (which is super employee friendly). Risk is that they don’t hire you because of the possibility, other risk is they fire you once they learn you’ve been threatened over a non compete (if you dont tell them) Third Option is the yolo option mentioned above. A lot of employers wouldn’t file suit to enforce, especially on a graphics designer that doesn’t know any really trade secrets. This is the “buyer beware” approach (I agree that a non compete in Texas probably wouldn’t be enforceable against working for a California company, but the trend towards nation wide companies is really making poo poo hard to tell based on old rear end case law and the random differences between states) Welcome to the wild wacky world of employment law where the rules are made up and the points don’t matter!

To be completely non-helpful, these agreements have different enforceability on a state by state basis. In California non-competes are unenforceable. In Minnesota (where I live and have dealt with this before) a non-compete clause has to specify 4 things: industry, responsibilities, time (no more than 1 year), geographic area (within the state only). When I had to deal with an issue I e-mailed a local employment lawyer that dealt specifically with non-competes. We talked on the phone briefly for 10-15 minutes and I e-mailed him my non-compete clause and he gave me some quick and dirty advice, namely that my clause was enforceable in Minnesota. All that was for free. If it had come to dealing with enforcement then I could engage him and pay him. So it can't hurt to contact a local attorney and ask.

Lots of particulars and if you did sign an NCA you should probably see what it actually says and talk to a lawyer. For example, in Kentucky you have to receive additional consideration for the agreement not to compete (continued employment is not enough): http://opinions.kycourts.net/sc/2012-SC-000651-DG.pdf
