Episode #29 - Reduced Hours, Unemployment & Breaking Contracts [WHAT'S ALLOWED?]
Description
Today we have lawyer Sam Michaels back talk about reduced hours, unemployment & breaking contracts - more specifically, what's allowed and what isn't?
Due to the COVID pandemic, many businesses and employees have been forced to make a lot of changes, some of which resulting in cancelled contracts, modified work and even the reduction of hours.
But can we simply 'change' an agreement because of the COVID shutdown?
In some cases yes... in a lot of cases...it's complicated! There isn't a lot of RECENT precedent to go on and in some cases, we are looking back to the time of WW2 to figure out how to handle things today.
The bottom line, it's complicated!
If you have any employment law questions, contract law questions, or general advice, please reach out to Sam directly so that he can speak to you about your own situation.
