Q: My employer brought me in to sign an agreement to change my actions within 30 days.
I am a non contract employee, today I was brought into my bosses office to discuss my conduct. She stated that all of the workers and patients had been complaining about my actions but had not brought forward any documented incidents. I was forced to sign an agreement that states in 30 days I will have to change my actions or face termination. I am currently the only full time employee, and a part time employee that is well liked by my boss is looking to move to full time. Is there any sort of case here?
A: You weren't forced to sign an agreement. You did sign it. That agreement will be enforceable and govern what happens. I have not seen it, so I have no idea what you admitted to and what you gave up. No one held a gun to your head. Economic pressure is not duress sufficient to void an agreement.
