Legal Answers
4 Questions Answered
- Q. What permits or licenses do I need in the state or Florida to sell candy under my own brand state to state online ?
- A: Depending on the exact details of your business plan, you may need a Food Permit from the state Department of Agriculture, plus other basic permits and licenses for the establishment of a business such as a city and county business tax receipt. You may also want consider what type of business structure to establish, whether incorporate or form an LLC or whether registering a trademark on your brand is desirable.
- Q. BLUF: Question about legality of pay cuts and avenues of action as a Contractor.
- A: An attorney should review your contract to determine what rights they have to reduce your agreed pay and exactly what parameters surround the sign-on bonus and education credits. Like with many issues in contract law, it depends on what the contract says.
- Q. Hello. I wanted to see if a document i have signed for my employer is binding and how it would work if employment ends
- A: The wording is a bit vague but it does imply that you must take an action to end your employment for the moving expenses to be subject to refund. The reference to deducting from the last paycheck seems also to be poorly draft if this is less than your typical paycheck. A proper review of the entire document by an attorney would be wise.
