Dentistry And The Law: Unreasonable Non-Compete And Damages Provisions In Employment Contracts, Dan Schulte Jd

Liquidated damages should reflect actual losses, especially in cases where damages are difficult to gauge. Courts may still reject these provisions if they find breaches or inequity. Employers are advised to strike a balance between safeguarding their interests and fostering positive work environments.
