I have been working as an independent contractor, in GA, performing a cosmetic service in a small office for 2 years. The propriter of this business started to make demands on me to incorporate claiming it is necessary to work as independent. I maintain that I do not make enough at this office to justify incorporation and need to take care of curent financial obligations first. I was also being pressured to obtain other, unnecessary, exspensive, certifications not required by law in my state and to perform uncompensated duties not related to my job. So I have terminated my association with the company.
I did sign a non-compete with a 10 mile radius clause and that any clients treated on the premises will remaine with with this business.
I am trying to move on but now my former "employer" is sending out letters discrediting my credentials and attacking me personally.
I have dedicated 20 years to my profession and am just starting over in a new state to be near my family. This person has only been in business 3 years but seems determined to keep me from making a living.
As an independent contractor can I allow my clients to know where I will be working if they ask? I am no longer working at this company and beyond the 10 mile radius. As an independent what recourse do I have? Just want to put this behind me and get on with my life. But the assaults on my character continue. How much do I owe this person as a contractor? Can I stop these slanderous letters?
