Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Employment agreement - back wages

My employer located in State of GA,

I have a few questions related to employment law.

1. I signed agreement in Indiana, is it enforcable in GA

2. I signed agreement with back date, is it legal

3. I worked for him for 17 months, in which last 3 months didnt pay. when i ask him, he says i didnt work for him for 18 months per agreement.

i didnt work because he didnt pay me salary and he couldnt find me a work after my prior job ends. i waited for 2 months to find a work thru him.

4.i contacted DOl, they says, they can help me only up to min wage rate. how do we go for it?

5.

I signed the confidential information and non-competition, one of the para says,

'In consideration of employers offer of employment to employee, the terms and conditions set forth here in shall be in full force during employee's status as an employee of the employer, and as to those termes and conditions which provide for certain obligations to continue beyond termination of employment, they shall survive to the extent specified. during the term of as an employee of XXX company, the employee agrees to work with any of employers clients(as per appendix a) anywhere in usa and this term is 18 months from the date this agreement signed''.

Re: Employment agreement - back wages

It looks like your question was cut off, but it sounds like you need someone to reiew your contract to see where it binds you (if at all) and how you can be paid for work. As to your specific questions: (1) an agreement may be legal in Georgia even if it was signed in Indiana (although the laws of Georgia and Indiana are very different, especially when it comes to non-compete provisions, (2) parties can agree to have an agreement's start date prior to the actual signing in many cases, but this is fact dependent (3) not really sure what you are asking here, but if you performed work, you should be paid, (4) you can file a claim against him for unpaid wages, and (5) I would need to see the entire agreement to see if it is enforceable against you or not.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relatiionship has been created or should be implied.
