Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Conflict of Interest
I am employed part time for a hospital as a physical therapist. For the past eight years, I have also ran my own business as a physical therapist, massage therapist and personal trainer. I saw my clients exclusively in their homes.
Recently, I leased office space and began seeing clients there as well as in their homes. Last month, the hospital administration came to me and said that I was in conflict of interest and must cease the physical therapy portion of my business or be terminated. Is this legal?
