Signed a non-compete in the fall. When a newer version was rolled out recently, I refused to sign and had to resign. Am I still bound by the non-compete I signed in the fall or is it voided by the new version?

This isn't legally binding. This is a notice that if you continue to see the residents at the property they may bring legal action against you. If they are serious about this it is likely that there is a clause in your contract that bars you from continuing contact with the families or... View More

Worker's comp usually takes care of such things. I've never heard of an employer demanding you pay your work comp insurance while you're off work for a work related injury. Google worker's compensation attorneys in Indiana and give one a call. They'll know better than I do.

If the case is truly expunged and no just dismissed then you do not need to tell anyone about your case with limited exceptions. You may want to check mycase.in.gov to confirm your case has truly been expunged.

Unfortunately, you are most likely an at-will employee. You can be fired at anytime for almost any reason. Your employer could fire you for not liking the way you dress or for not meshing well with the other employees on a personal level. In this case, being 45 minutes late is a perfectly valid...

Only the attorney that you sit down with and receives all the facts can give you an accurate estimate... View More
