Employment Agreement Violation Consequences

Hi,

I am employed with consulting firm

and my employer gets money when

I am on project. I have entered

into agreement that I will not leave

the current company for 1 year. If I

violate the agreement, I have to

pay $2500 per month till completion

of term. Since its slow down period

and I am on bench (not working on

project) from 6 weeks, so my

employer is not getting money from

me. Although he is paying me. I

have fear that he can fire me

anytime since its slowdown period.

I have found another employer, but

I fear about the agreement I have

signed. Can you please tell me if

this can be challenged in court of

law an If I can get benefit?

Re: Employment Agreement Violation Consequences

An attorney would need to carefully read your employment agreement before providing you with any legal advice. I suggest you bring the agreement to an attorney for review.
