Q: I'm a Physician assistant trained in emergency medicine. Can urgent care enforce a Noncomp to keep me out of the ER?
I have a noncompete in my urgent care contract. My boss is not fulfilling the hours or my bonus according to my contract so I'm leaving. It is stated as "not over 50% walk in volume" which would apply to emergency rooms too. I'm ER trained with a doctorate in EM. Can this urgent care contract keep me from going back to the ER, or am I going to get sued if I do?
A: It appears that the contract will be breached by your working in an ER. Hire an attorney to read the contract and listen to the prospective new jobs. You may get sued in any event and have an attorney ready to go.
