I have an employment contract/non-compete agreement. Would this agreement be null and void also?
The terms of your contract between you and "employer" would govern what happens if services are suspended and you had made sales that qualify for payment prior to the suspension. Often times, employers will put people on 1099 arrangements when in fact they have a more traditional... Read more »

3. And finally, "walking away" will do no good either.
Again: You still owe the... Read more »
