Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Restrictions on someone's ability to work are closely scrutinized by the courts. My advice is to consult a Georgia lawyer, who can review the severance package documents and advise you of your rights and options BEFORE your husband signs the documents.

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******

Non-compete agreements are difficult to enforce in Georgia. To properly advise you, an attorney will need to review the severance agreement in its entirety. If you are interested, I would be happy to offer you a free consultation by phone. You may contact me using the link attached to this response.

What is your question? Severance packages often come with restrictions. Employees are usually free to accept or reject the deal, it is "legal"for the employee to make their own decisions. We have no idea what was signed, or agreed upon, and you did not think it important to actually tell us the whole story, including what he got in severance.
