Q: I signed into an employment contract where I will owe money if length of employment stated in contract is not met
what are my options to get out of contract? i’ve read you can get out of contract if your employer didn’t give you a copy of the contract but not sure if that’s true. plus i can’t remember if they never gave me a copy or if they gave me a copy and i lost it? either way do i have options to get out of this?
A: You should contact an Oregon employment attorney to discuss your situation. If you have completed most or a substantial portion of your employment term, you may be entitled to at least a reduction in the total amount the company is claiming you owe them. If you signed the original agreement, then it doesn't matter whether you were given a copy.
