What is the name of your state?Oregon
My husband started delivering papers for the Oregoian about a week ago as a side job. He was hired as a subcontractor/1099 person. Last night they called him into the office a few times saying they needed to have him sign some papers. They called him in while he was trying to get his papers put together and go because the papers have to be delivered by a certain time plus they had extra papers to deliver that come out once a week. They did not explain to him what he was signing, they did not give time to read the papers. After he signed them he noticed they said he has to give 30 days notice and if he walk ouT or doesn't shoW up he is fined $350.00. I don't think that they can do this, ecspeacially since they did not explain it nor let him completely read. I told my husband when he goes in tonight to get that paper back and I was going to call The Oregoinian and ask them if this is there policy. Is this even legal?
Thanks
