Subject:Unusual Employment Agreements From:Richard Lewis <tech44writer -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Wed, 20 Dec 2006 09:21:07 -0800 (PST)
Hi all:
An agency just email me an employment agreement to sign with two unusual clauses:
1.) I agree to pay the agency $2000 if I sign the agreement and then change my mind and do not show up to start work.
2.) I agree to pay the agency $2000 if I leave the contract job before it is scheduled to be completed.
Have you had any experiences with employment agreement clauses like such? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Richard Lewis
