Legal Question in Employment Law in Connecticut
sign a fixed term contract
i was made to sign a one year contract for a consultant company, which placed me in a mid client company, which in turn placed me in an end client company.now the end client company has offered me a permanent job as an employee in it.am i bound to the one year initial contract signed with the consultant company which says if i leave them i have to pay 7500$? can any company make an individual sign such a contract? what happens if i break it and join my end client company as an employee?Thanks very much for your help.

Re: sign a fixed term contract
A consultant company can require you to sign a term contract. I would think the issue would be that the company requires a fee to be paid before you take a full time position at the firm where they placed you.
