As a Franchise Attorney with experience in these areas, I can say the following. First of all, are you an employee or an independent contractor. If an employee, the equities are on the employer's side. Even if that's the case, there are numerous other factors to consider that are well beyond the scope of this bulletin board. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
