Help! Employment law in Texas: do I need to abide by employment contract of 2 MONTH notice before I quit?
I work for a small company. I was deperate for a job in this recession so I took the first one that came along. Problem is that (1) the work place is unsafe; (2) the boss verbally abuses co-workers -- not me yet -- he definitely has anger management issues; (3) he gives you assignments that makes no sense but expects you to deliver -- deliver what?
Here comes the problem: I signed a contract that says I need to give 2 MONTH notice. I want to find another job and get out of there. But what new employer would give you a job if you can't start for 2 months. I would think 2 weeks should be enough.
One other thing. I am not full time. I am only part-time. Seems awfully demanding to be part-time but require you to gie 2 MONTH's notice.
I meant "give", not "gie"
What can he do if I don't abide by his 2-month notice? Well, he can just not pay me for work alreay done. We are paid one month after work incurred, so he already owes me a month of work.
so whats he gonna do if you quite without a 2 month notice, take away your birthday?
Seriously, what are the consequences of leaving without a 2 month notice.
Check with labor commission in your state. I bet that is not legal to do. If it is legal to fire someone without notice, is sure would be legal to quit without notice. some places will not pay out on any vacation pay without a proper 2 week notice but 2 MONTHS???
Also, if the work place is truly unsafe, call OSHA and start up an investigation.
If you have another job lined up, I personally would drop this guy like a hot rock.
edit: Please check with your local labor commission because I am pretty positive that an employer CANNOT withhold wages already earned. This guy has you running scared. Look in government pages of your phone book and look for labor commission. It is a branch of the government meant to help empoyees with stuff like this. The one in North Dakota helpe me with getting paid for a piddly job like babysitting waaay back when I was a kid and more recently, the labor commission people here in Minnesota helped sort out some bogus rules at a job I had about 9 years ago. Call them and tell the first person that answers a thumbnail sketch of what is going on and they can direct you to someone who can give you the rules of employment in your state.
