Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey
Wrongful Termination and NDNC
I was terminated from my employment based on employer's assumption I violated a NDNC from a profile I did not wholly generate on the internet. I was not given an opp for rebuttal. NJ Unemployment granted my benefits after a fact-finding examiner's meeting. I'm assuming they found the employer's claim 'invalid'. I have now received from a third party in the NDNC (franchisor) a letter of warning with added restrictions unreasonably limiting my ability to train, earn a living in sales, sales management, sales training and to contact any clients (prev or current) for Any purpose. Is this enforceable?
I was given the agreement to sign 2 months after I accepted employment and was then later forced to sign another at a seminar registration for the franchisor. I have not been paid wages owed, pay stubs and overpaid health care premums. One of the previous clients has contacted me, which the employer clearly stated he would not be renewing and invited me to engage with them so long as it wasn't related to the non-compete content. Thank you!

Re: Wrongful Termination and NDNC
Whether or not your NDNC agreement would be violated by your proposed relationship with this new employer is a subject that cannot be addressed without reading the agreement itself and knowing much more about your work situation and current opportunity. If you would like me to help you with this, call or email. My contact information appears with this message.
