Legal Question

For an employment contract, if the dates of signatures under acceptance/witness, at the end of the contract, does that void the contract?

Your question makes no sense? What about the dates?

Your question makes no sense? What about the dates?

Say the date of employee signature is 9/12/10 and the signature date of witness/employer is 9/14/10. Since the dates differ and there is no proof of witness while signing the contract then does that void the contract.

The employment agreement is valid if you signed it. It wouldn't need a witness.

No, it does not void the contract. Generally, there is no requirement that employment contracts be witnessed. If you are claiming that the contract was not executed (i.e. forged), then the date discrepancy could conceivably be used as evidence, depending on the circumstances (though I'm not sure what circumstances might make it relevant).

Alright thanks! How about with the non-compete agreement, if you make your boss aware of your plans and verbally they understand and give you the ok. But their boss comes back and says that is a breach of contract?

Are you still liable if they give the ok (contract states that unless accepted by employer)?

Roomate took a job with a university research study - paid , and left his physical therapy job. He made his boss aware that he was possibly leaving and she said she understood and gave the ok. He accepted the new position and was contacted by his boss stating that her boss said they may take legal action since it was a breach of contract. In the contract it states that the employee is free to leave if the employer accepts but that is only a verbal conversation between the two so it would be word against word

Your roommate is ok to take the other job.
