Question: How should I proceed if my former employer owes me a payout, but claims it's offset by non-usage technology fees which I don't recall agreeing to, and they are now offering a settlement if I sign a Hold Harmless Agreement?
Answer: In a case where a former employee is disputing unpaid funds due to non-usage technology fees that they did not agree to, you should send a demand letter to the company to attempt to resolve. If you are offered a settlement agreement, read through the settlement agreement and ensure you are comfortable with the terms. You may request an attorney reviews the agreement PRIOR to signature, including any information as to deadlines of when the settlement offer will terminate.
