Employment Contracts
Although Texas is an at-will employment state, you may have entered into an Employment Agreement with your employer that precludes your employer from terminating you for a period of time except under certain circumstances.

If you believe you have been terminated in violation or breach of your contract, contact our office immediately to help you understand all of the terms and conditions of the contract. You need to understand what rights, and remedies, the purported contract may give you under Texas law. If you have an employment contract and need help in evaluating an employment agreement, contact The Law Office of Jeffrey A. Goldberg today.

Non-Compete Agreements & Non-Solicitation Agreements
In some instances, an employer may have you sign a “non-compete agreement” as a term of your employment. It is important for an employee to understand the nature of these agreements and the limitations it may place on the employee when he or she seeks new or other employment. We can assist you in helping you evaluate and negotiate the non-compete agreement upon your hire, or review and analyze the enforceability of the agreement at the time of your separation of employment.

Should you have questions concerning non-compete agreements and/or non-solicitation agreements, contact our office immediately.

Overtime Wage Disputes
Federal and state laws regulate the manner and rate by which employees are compensated. In all instances, employees must be paid a minimum wage and receive their wages at designated pay periods. In general, a non-exempt, hourly employee is entitled to receive overtime pay at time and a half of their hourly rate for all hours worked over 40 in a one-week period.

If your employer has classified you as a salaried, exempt employee, you may also be entitled to overtime compensation. For example, if you do not supervise employees or if you perform the same work as hourly employees or are subjected to certain types of improper deductions from your wages, you may be entitled to overtime.

If you feel you may have a potential Overtime Wage Dispute claim, contact our office immediately.
