Non-Compete Agreements & Waivers

If your employer made you sign a non-compete agreement, you should make sure that the agreement does not violate Massachusetts law. Non-compete agreements that unreasonably restrict your right to work may be illegal and unenforceable. If your employer asks you to sign a waiver form that could release rights you have, you should consult with an attorney before agreeing to sign. Some waivers may not be enforceable.

Other Employee Rights

There are many statutes and regulations that apply to the workplace, and employees often have rights that they do not realize they have. Because individual circumstances vary so much, it is worth consulting an attorney if you have reason to believe that your employer is treating you unfairly.

Cases We Handle as Massachusetts Employment Law Attorneys

Retaliation

If your employer has retaliated against you simply because you complained about a wrongful workplace policy or practice, you may have a claim against the employer. The law acknowledges the power that employers often have over their employees, and that employees would be afraid to challenge unfair employment practices without adequate legal protection.
