Obviously if a job does random drug tests, they don’t have to give you a warning of when they are going to do them. More or less wondering that if random testing is part of the job, If they have to tell you up front
answered on Jul 25, 2023
I do not believe so, but I think most employers do include a disclosure such as "may be subject to random drug testing".
Certainly worth the ask up-front if it's a concern for you.

If it doesn't say that,... View More

Are there any case law for me to ask for a non-compete or moratorium for both of us not to be able to use the existing customers of the business for a certain amount of time?
answered on May 26, 2023
Good question. These items that you wish to have, such as a non-compete or a non-circumvention agreement, are documents that should really be agreed to up front at the time you and your partner did your initial business deal - so PRIOR to the actual dissolution of a company and not during a...

She may also know it is permissible and be able to explain to you why it is. Either way, your... View More
