I'm a new NP graduate and I'm still waiting to receive my state license. During my last semester at school, I was offered a job and I had signed a contract. It was agreed that my start date would be dependent on when I pass my boards and officially get licensed. Unfortunately, recently, the office has told me that due to low patient volume, they might not be able to support my employment and that they can break my contract.
I'm wondering if the non-compete clause still applies. The document states that I can't practice in within "[X] years of employee's employment relationship...within a [Y] mile radius." My line of thinking is that I was never an official employee because I don't have my license yet. It's hard enough finding a job as a new graduate...Any advice would be helpful.
Absolutely, I think that is reasonable. It seems odd to me that you are shadowing and they are saying this. It sounds more like a "fit" issue. But by there own words they are breaking the contract....that is all you need
