Hello!
I am a regular salaried employee. They had me sign a "contract" before I started. I didn't notice this before hand, but I am noticing this now and it states:
"Either you or K***** may terminate your employment at any time by giving written notice during probation period (THREE months) and two months in advance after that. The corporation will be entitled to pay in lieu of your working out all or part of the required period notice after probation period."
Then it goes on saying that I can be fired immediately for cause and names some instances (theft, etc.).
So the way this is written out is I would have to work 60 days from giving my notice before I can move on? Is that correct? Is that legal?
If I were to have another job option and I had to leave in like say three weeks, can the company not pay me for not fulfilling the contract requirements? I do get paid monthly, so if they decided to stick it to me, it would be for a full month's worth of salary.
I work for a foreign company. All employees here are foreign employees that are stationed from Korea. I am the only American employee. I work in their office from the hours of 9 am until 7 - 8 PM and only get paid $36,000 a year salary. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
I am in California by the way.
Oh lastly if somebody could please explain what "The corporation will be entitled to pay in lieu of your working out all or part of the required period notice after probation period" means.
