I'm here in Colorado and was terminated from a computer company for affirming I was owed commissions and only paid in part for my sales. Upon termination I was told that I would only be issued my final check providing I signed the "termination paperwork" which included a non-compete. With as bad as the economy has been, I was in no place to be further screwed out of pay so I complied.
Recently I began working for a competitor of the former employer and have been making calls based on the list I was given. Some of the accounts are current customers of the former employer and have reported back to him that I'm soliciting them and in return the former employer has threatened to sue.
My questions are:
Can an employer legally withhold my final paycheck until I agree to sign a non-compete?
Does this clown have a leg to stand on?
