Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah
I am employed in a quilt shop as a clerk. I occasionally teach classes at this shop. My employer takes 30% of my class fees. I have not signed any contract or exclusivity agreement with this shop. I wish to teach classes elsewhere (another shop or quilt conferences) in addition to my teaching at my employer's shop. My employer has told me that if I teach at her shop, I cannot teach anywhere else. Can she make this restriction? Can she fire me if I go ahead and teach elsewhere?

She can always fire you. If she fires you, your recourse will be to get unemployment.
She has no legal right to stop you from teaching, unless you signed an agreement not to teach.
