Help needed

hi ,

I am working at client C through employer A and mid vendor B.  Client C has offered full time position, and I informed to my employer that I am going to accept it. Now employer A threatening to sue me based on agreement that I can not accept this offer.

how to deal with this kind of  situation? Can employer sue based on such contracts? I do not want to miss this opportunity of permanent job.

Appreciate response.

Thanks

Run your contract by a Labor Lawyer in California.

The OP didn't say that the job is in California (although the OP stated that his location is San Diego.)

Non-compete agreements are generally valid, except if the old or new employer is in CA. The CA Supreme Court has ruled that non-compete agreements (with a few exceptions) are not enforceable in CA.

As I said, non-compete agreements are generally not valid in California, but they are valid in other states.

You need to see a good immigration lawyer and labor.lawyer.
