It has become more common for employers to
require new employees to sign employment
agreements when they are hired. These agreements
are used primarily to protect company secrets and
to discourage employee poaching by competitors.
Generally, there are three types of employment
agreements to serve these purposes
confidentiality agreements, non-compete
agreements, and work-product agreements.
. Confidentiality agreements are used to prevent
a job applicant or an employee from sharing
information about the company that he or she
learns during a job interview or during the
course of employment. The confidentiality
agreement (often called a nondisclosure
agreement) should specify the information that
the applicant or employee may not disseminate or
share. The agreement should also clearly state
the period of time the agreement is valid and the
period of confidentiality.

In a non-compete agreement, the employee signs a
contract agreeing to not work for a competitor
company or to start a competing business for a
certain time period after his or her employment
ends. Non-compete agreements must clearly state
the period of time the employee must refrain from
competition and must also clearly define the
types of businesses that are considered
competitors, both in terms of industry and
geographic location.

- Work product agreements protect a companys
intellectual property by stating that anything
the employee creates during his or her employment
remains the property of the company, rather than
of the individual employee. The contract should
clearly define the type of product to be
protected by the agreement. A typical work
product agreement states that work product
includes any and all discoveries, inventions,
ideas, concepts, research, trademarks, service
marks, slogans, logos and information, processes,
products, techniques, methods and improvements
that the employee develops independently or in
cooperation with other employees or companies.

- Your employer does not have the right to fire you
at will if doing so is in violation of a
written contract ensuring your job security
(though he or she may still be able to legally
fire for good cause even when such a contract is
in place). In a similar way, you may be protected
by an implied employment contract based on
particular promises your employer has made to
you. It is, of course, challenging to prove the
existence of verbal promises, but you may have
written words in an employee handbook or some
other document to bolster your case. If we bring
your case to court, certain factors will be
examined to determine whether an implied contract
actually existed. These include - Promised job duration at the time of hiring
- Time already spent at the job
- Promotions you have been given
- Positive performance reviews
- Assurances of continued employment
- Promised sequential discipline or warning before
termination

As an employee, it is important to be aware that
your employer is not permitted to fire you in
retaliation for your public complaints about
unfair treatment, whether they involve sexual
harassment, abusive behavior, or assaults on your
individual health or well-being. Anti-
retaliation laws are in place to keep employees
from hesitating to report bad treatment because
they fear job loss and loss of health benefits
for themselves and their families.

Long Island
With this acceptance, has come legal protection,
emboldening what had been an intimidated
population. As a result, more and more people
have come out of the closet, feeling
comfortable acknowledging their true identities.
The good news is that as more people identify
themselves as homosexual or bisexual, the more
the general public becomes aware that they (we)
all have connections to individuals of varying
sexual orientations and that a significant
percentage of the population is affected by this
type of discrimination.

Although the United States is only a couple of
years away from celebrating a century of womens
suffrage in this country (in the state of New
York the centennial has already taken place), we
still have a long way to go to consider our
country free of sex and gender bias. We see
evidence of such discrimination throughout the
culture in households, in politics, in
borrowing power, and in education.
12Sexual Harassment
Sexual orientation discrimination can be
blatant or subtle, focused or diffuse.
While always difficult to confront, when
such discrimination is deeply rooted and
widespread throughout a company, or even an
industry, it can seem impossible to
eliminate. This is when you need the
services of a capable employment attorney
who has the know-how and skill to assist you in
obtaining the just treatment you deserve. At
Tand Associates, our legal team is
experienced in cases involving
discrimination in the workplace and prepared to
compile evidence, collect witnesses, and
negotiate a reasonable settlement in your
favor. If necessary, we are also fully
prepared to fight for your rights in a court of
law.

13Sexual Harassment
- There are mountains of evidence of sex and
gender discrimination in the workplace attesting
to the fact that women have been earning less
money than men for precisely the same jobs.
Fortunately, the gap is beginning to close,
particularly among millennials. This appears to
be due to the fact that more young women than men
are not only attending college, but
obtaining graduate degrees. Some researchers
believe that the wage-gender gap may close
during the next decade, but others are more
skeptical. In the meantime, here are a
few facts about the present wage-gender gap.
