I quit a job in California. After my resignation, they sent me an email requesting that I confirm I turned over all employer property, and asked me to sign an agreement with the following:
Do I need to respond at all? Can I strike that if I don't agree to that last statement? How should I handle this?
I am not a lawyer but i would ignore it. Unless they offer you a severance bonus or something and make it contingent on signing. If you're not a fiduciary and nothing was in your original employment agreement, spill the beans once you're free. Don't lie or be emotional, keep it truthful and clean.
Edited by user. I was offered no severance.
So they're asking you to sign a contract without "consideration", ie you get nothing. Hard no.
Coincidentally a contract without consideration is not legally enforceable.
Really? That's useful information.
Not a lawyer but recently used a lawyer for something similar. They are hoping you’ll sign it.
Normally they tie it to a payment to get you to sign it.
