I ran this through a lawyer, and my employer, so it passed both parties "grrr, ok" test. I realize it's a hybrid, and someone will make some sacastic remark about the bastardized legaleze, but I just wanted the darn job, and the employer understood this wording. Here's $500 worth of advice, use it as you wish (and mod me down as necessary):
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
Exceptions to Paragraph 3, Subsection (x): Employer acknowledges and was advised prior to employment that Employee is employed as a freelance Web Developer both directly and through his business, Insert Name, Inc. Employer further acknowledges that in the course of that employment and consultation, employee will invent and devise solutions to problems the could be directly or indirectly beneficial to Employer, but Employer will have no right to such inventions or solutions developed for other clients belonging to Employee or Insert Name, Inc.
Secondly, Employer acknowledges that Employee, through his prior work experience, possesses unique solutions and programming developed on his own and with other employers, and it is this unique knowledge that ultimately lead to employment at Hiring Company, Inc. Given the number of programs and solutions developed in the past, it would be impossible and an undue burden on Employee to disclose every item listed in Section 5, Past Inventions And Discoveries. Employee can agree to not breach any previous non-disclosure contracts with previous employers so as not to endanger Hiring Company, Inc. This shall constitute an exception to Section 5 of the employment contract.
Employer agrees to strike the word "indirectly" from Section 6 "Non-Competition Agreement", and Section 7, "Non-Solicitation Agreement, and further acknowledges that Employee shall continue to own and operate his consulting agreements and business, Insert Name, Inc., and such business does not constitute competition or conflict of interest.
Why does this keep coming up. I replaced my iPod battery for $49 in about 10 minutes. It lasted about 18 months, and I used it as an external drive also. The battery on my UPS died after two years, cost more, and took me about as long to replace. All the iPod takes is a screwdriver and five steps http://www.ipodbattery.com/ipodinstall.htm
Why do./er's brag about building thier own systems and complain about a rechargeable battery without a plastic slide-out compartment?
