Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Sneaky tactic by my employer
I started working at this place 18
months ago. I signed a 3 year
contract with them. Now my
employer is asking me to sign a
release agreement so that they can
put me on non-productive status to
get rid of me. They are not firing me
because as per contract they have
to give me a reason if they fire me.
When I asked a reason.. they said
mgmt has several reasons. I never
had any issue at my work. This is
sudden and surprise to me. Plus
they knew that I was going on a
month long vacation from 25th and
i won't have time to respond to
this. So, they are not firing me but
want me to quit. what should I do?
?

No one here knows what your contract provides, what the new documents provide, the type of job, and many other relevant facts. You won't likely get responses telling you what to do, other than see a lawyer to review the documents and facts.
Re: Sneaky tactic by my employer
I recommend that you not sign anything until you consult with an attorney, like myself, that specializes in labor and employment law in Georgia. I would like to review your employment contract and the release agreement so that I can advise you on the best course of action. If necessary, I could also negotiate with the employer on your behalf.
