Know Your Workplace Rights:
Employment Agreement Provisions
- Under the National Labor Relations Act, you have the right to join together with your coworkers to improve your working conditions - and a right to share information about your working conditions.
- If you are currently subject to an employment agreement (including an exit/severance agreement) that restricts your ability to do either, it could be unlawful.
- For example, overly broad confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-disparagement provisions, and provisions that restrict employee mobility (like non-competes, stay-or-pay, training repayment) can violate the law.
- Under the law, you can't be forced to sign away your labor rights, Even if you've signed, an unlawful provision is not enforceable against you.
