On the day of termination I was asked to sign a statement (which I did)that both parties had agreed that this was to be the last date of employment and that If I signed an agreement (which I did not) releasing the employer from all liabilities I would then get one month's severance pay.Does signing the first statement now prevent me from suing for breach of contract? What are the remedies available to me?
Can I sue for breach of employment contract?
I am not a lawyer. This does not constitute legal advice.
If you are in a right-to-work state (49 out of the 50 states are), you are SOL. This assumes that you didn't have a separate employment agreement with your former employer.
Right-to-work means that you or your employer can terminate employment, at any time, for any reason or no reason. There is no agreement to employment of any length.
You cannot be fired for being over 40, of an ethnic minority or for your religious beliefs. You can be fired if your employer has someone lined up for your job at half of your wages, and you had two weeks left before you qualified for your pension.
Reply:Employment contracts are always one sided, that is favoring the employer. An employer has every right to terminate the service of an employee by giving sufficient notice as per the terms of employment.

What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?
Can anyone explain the distinctions from employment agency, staffing agency, and headhunters? Do they offer the same services? If I go for the services, will they charge me? How to look for the agencies? (From yellow pages or ...?) Please recommend some good agencies especially in San Francisco Bay Area. Thank you.
What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?
Hello NeedHelp, that's what where here for...
Although they call themselves different things they are all much the same. The best way to distinguish them is their field of specialisation. Some specialise in casual labour for overflow situations whereas others emphasise recruitment and finding the best candidates.
If you are looking for a job, it won't cost you as most recruiters get paid by employers.
Best to buy the local paper or go on-line to find a job. Good luck!

How long do employers keep employment files of past employees.?
I worked for this company 10 years ago and want to reapply for another position currently. Will they most likely still have my previous employment record on file. I only worked there about 2 months. Thanks
How long do employers keep employment files of past employees.?
I know for a fact they keep them (since things are now computerized as opposed to the old booking system) forever. As long as you're in the system you stay there. I've been gone from a company over 10 yrs and they still have my info. Great question too!
Reply:Depends on the company. But if I were you I would play it safe if there's anything on your record that could hurt you.
Reply:I think that they keep their files for at least 7-10 years depending on the company. Now the files may all be mostly converted electronically so they might be able to pull you up very easily. On the app just put that you worked there previously and for how long. good luck!
Reply:If you worked for a company and they ask you on the Application you must tell them or they can fire you at any time if they found out later.
Reply:I am pretty sure employers have to keep employee files forever. And if there isn't anything bad in your file, then definetly apply for the position. you have nothing to loose!
Good Luck

What are the laws governing employment in banks?
What are the laws governing employment in banks?
I have a misdemeanor for stealing from when I was 19. I'm now 27 but I wanted to know if anyone knows whether or not it is illegal for me to work in a bank
What are the laws governing employment in banks?
Every state is different.
The employer would probably do a background check on you, and they may ask you if you have ever been convicted of a misdemeanor. Most employers ask if you have been convicted of a felony.
There is no law about you working, it's up to the employer.

How do I get my employment history for the last seven years I live in Atlanta Georgia?
I need to obtain the proper addresses and dates of employment history. My work history started in Atlanta in the
fall/winter of 1995
How do I get my employment history for the last seven years I live in Atlanta Georgia?
There would be no one that you could contact for all of that except yourself. Where did you work, call them, look it up on the internet, look at old taxes.,
Reply:only you have that information. try to remember.
Reply:You would need to call each place of employment and ask them for your employment history. Not sure you'll get any luck from anyone older than about 2000 since most records aren't kept (onsite at least) after 5-7 years, most are discarded even sooner.
If you've managed to keep up with your tax records since that time, you can figure it out by the W2's attached.
Reply:Hi,
In response to your question concerning your employment history, I recently discovered on the social security administration website that it is possible to obtain this information, unfortunately, there is a fee. It would appear that for 11 years of history, it would cost you approximately $37. You would have to download and complete Form SSA-7050-F4. As I said, you can find the information on the social security website. I believe this address will get you there: www.socialsecurity.gov. Under frequently asked questions drop down menu, click on earnings and employment, then click on "go", then click on number 4, "How can I obtain a history of all my employers?" Hope this helps, but this is the only source I've found so far. Good luck.

Reply:The Ga Department of Labor may have you in their system because that is how they verify if you are eligible for unemployment assistance. So seeing that you would want a listing then see if they can release that information to you.
Reply:Contact your local State Income Tax office or - refer back to your taxes. If you keep copies of them; your W-2's and/or 1099's will be attached to them.

What should i write for a job interview when ask "How would you describe your time at your last employment?"
I work for a medical group as a Medical Office Clerk in white plains ny. but i'm planning to move to Georgia this summer perminately and i'm looking for employment in the medial field down there. I would like to know what are the best positive things i can say about describing my time at my old job to boost my paper.
thanks for helping : )
What should i write for a job interview when ask "How would you describe your time at your last employment?"
True, be honest and sincere because they can always call, but they can legally only ask certain questions.
You enjoyed the position you held and learned a lot from the experience and were a team player and always tried to help others.
I was always on time and put in the extra effort to get the job done correctly, but in a timely fashion.
The experience and knowledge that I have obtained from my present position and my hard work and dedication, I believe that I will be an asset to your company.
Things along that line....
Good luck with your job search...
Reply:You can tell them that it was a very learning experience while working there. You have got a good insight into whetever you worked on. It was a very interesting job and you always liked working for the employer. You always interacted with the Medical officers and have got very good contacts in the medical field. Overall a great experience..
Reply:Adequate, but not career defining.

Is there any way to find the dates of your past employment even when the place may be out of business?
When applying for jobs with the state or some banks, they want to know the exact dates (no estimating) of employment, your exact title, and your starting %26amp; ending salary of every job you've ever held even if it was over 30 years ago and you only worked 1 day there. How in the world do they think you can possibly find this? Does anyone know if there are resources available? Don't know where to start!!! HELPPPPPPPPPP!
Is there any way to find the dates of your past employment even when the place may be out of business?
You can get a print out of your employment history from the Social Security Administration.
Reply:I had a similar issue when I was applying for a security clearance. I had to account for all jobs, and residences for the last 15 years and people that knew me at those locations. What they really want is accountability. It you worked at the Shoparama in June of 1997 for 3 days but you don't remeber which 3 days then estimate. Think about what you were doing before that, why you left and wher you went. If you got anothe job immediately after then the make the start date of that job the stop date of the last. If you were unemployed for a period of time then put those days down.
your credit report can show previous employers and past residences that may jog your memory. Also tax returns will have some of that information. It takes a few weeks to get past tax returns sent, but they'll do it.
The most important thing is to be as accurate as possible and account for each day. When in doubt start on the first of the month and go to the 15th or 30/31st of the month to help fill gaps.
They're not going to throw you in jail because you were a week off some random job you had 8 years ago. Like I said it's just an accountabilty things. Kind of big brother's way of asking where were you and who were you with. As far as titles and salaries only you really know what your title was and how much you made.
Reply:They don't care who you worked for!
They want to see if your work history is consistent, and if you improved your position or made lateral (side-way)moves. They also want to see how much experience you have. They especially want to know why you changed jobs. Were you fired?
Here is your history (as far as I am concerned)
7up bottling Company Saint Louis, Mo. Hired in while attending the Junior year of high school. Duties included unloading and loading the route trucks for following day deliveries. Held job until one year after graduating High school (August 1, 1970 - Oct 29, 1973) Line worker for B.F.Goodrich Co. (Nov. 1, 1973 - Mar. 8, 1980) Even if you had 5 jobs in that period. (don't report short term). Loan officer at B. and B. Motors (Mar. 12,1980 - Aug. 16, 1994). Get the picture? They are only going to check out the last couple jobs (if any)
Reply:You could try to pull your credit report. A lot of times the places and dates are listed.
Reply:If the place is no longer in business, then just pick an approximate date and use it as "exact". If they're not in business - it's not like any one is there to say differently.
And I can't imagine that knowing you started working someplace on April 12th, 1985 to June 25th, 1987 is more significant than knowing that you worked from April 1985 to June 1987. But if the robots need exact dates, and you don't know them - and NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER...by all means - give them an "exact" date...
