Jersey City, NJ asked in Education Law and Employment Law for New Jersey

Q: I am working at charter school. But I want to quit the school. I didn't receive my contract.

I am working at charter school. But I want to quit the school. I didn't receive my contract yet. I didn't sign in. Surely, no one told me about 60 days notice to resign my job.

But school said, they gonna hold me during 60 days. Because I received a paycheck once, that means I agree with all employment conditions. But, before I read contract, I cannot imagine which contract clause is included in the contract. So I think I am not agree with all clauses before I sign in contract.

Am I right? or Are they right?

If I leave school now, can they suspend my certificate?

Actually, I have 2 teaching certificates. If they suspend my A certificates, can I work my B certificates?

Please help me. Thank you so much.

A: You need to bring in all your documents and the contract that you signed to an attorney for review and advice. Never, ever sign a contract without doing 2 very important things. You should always have an attorney review a contract and you have to always read a contract, especially under your circumstances. Good luck.
