Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Employee contract
A dog boarding facility I no longer
work for made me sign an agreement
stating that I would not be allowed to
work for another dog related business
for 1 year. The hours she had me
work were not what we discussed,
which is also written in the document
she had me sign, the dates I had
agreed to for the first week. She
added more dates for me to work,
which were not on the agreement. I
have also seen them hit & yell at the
dogs. These are some of the reasons
why I left after only working for
about 1 week. I would like to work
for another dog boarding facility. Is
this document legal? If I do work for
another dog related business, what
action can she take? Does this sound
like she breached her own contract?

Re: Employee contract
The document sounds legal. Sounds like it had no provision for you quiting upon a breach of the employment agreement. If you work for another dog business, she could sue you and the other business.
