I-9 audit
A I-9 audit is in progress. Gainwell is doing their due diligence to ensure all onshore employees are legally employable. Could be setting themselves up for a future sale.
Has JC and pose hit the jackpot? Will the Spaniard Repsol do due diligence?
Looks like JC has found the company that can be saddled with massive abandonment liability. Will Repsol do any due diligence and what will it mean for employment?
Non-Compete and Severance Clauses
For those that are impacted by the reduction in force, please check or have someone go over the severance agreement to see if there's a timeframe set for a non-compete clause. This would include verbiage regarding a timeframe of which you may be illegible for employment by a similar company offering a similar or slightly different role. While some states do have limitations on this, please exercise due diligence.
Example: You may be barred from working in a telecom or similar company for a period of six months before they would consider hiring you. You would go through the whole interview process, but then get hung up during the final selection due to this.
