Episode notes
Negotiate Termination And Vacation Terms
- When you give notice, expect most employers to release you from duties quickly while paying your notice period.
- Negotiate termination notice terms and ensure accrued vacation is included so you can leave earlier if needed.
Use Accrued Vacation During Notice
- Get explicit contract language allowing use of accrued vacation during your notice period.
- Take your accrued vacation now rather than letting it pile up so you don't lose access later.
Market Enforces Non-Competes More Than Courts
- A non-compete's legal enforceability doesn't guarantee employers or new hires will ignore it.
- Markets and prospective employers often refuse to hire someone covered by a non-compete to avoid litigation risk.
