Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California
When I lived in California, I left my company with a private written contract that I negotiated with them. After going back and forth with the company writing and rewriting the contract until I was satisfied, I asked for one more thing to be added to the contract in writing. I was told by the company that it wasn't necessary to put this last item in the contract because it was automatic. I asked them again to please add it to the written contract and again they told me it wasn't necessary and that what I was asking for was automatic and I was entitled to it. This was in November 1989. Now the company has changed their rules and I have been denied this item. Do they have to honor a verbal part of the contract?

It probably is too late, because it all depends upon when the company breached this oral agreement. The California statute of limitations on oral agreements runs two years from the date of the breach (i.e. when the company was supposed to do its part).
