What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? New Jersey home office, Virginia employer
My employer recently sent me several forms to sign and complete including "At Will Employee", "Secrecey and Disclosure" and "Respect for Patents". I have been an employee for almost 18 years and never had such documents in my file nor was ever asked to sign the same when hired.
Can I be forced to sign these documents? Can I be terminated if I won't?
Am I covered through an "implied contract" since I have worked in this capacity for nearly 18 years?
Since I have no agreement to be an at-will employee, does that mean that I am not?
I bluffed them with a reply that I contacted an attorney who advised me that I need sign nothing. Three months have gone by and no counter-reply yet. I would like to be prepared since this is a large company and a reply might be stewing.
Thanks.
