The General Manager of my business resigned unexpectedly just before I was going to be out of the office for a week. She said she was going to leave that very minute unless I agreed to pay her 6 months full pay. If I did agree to pay the 6 months, she would stay that following week and help with employee transition and the delegation of some of her duties. Because of the pressure of the situation, I agreed. She made me agree and put it in writing. I quickly whipped up a memo to her stating I agreed to do so.
I'm now wondering if that was even legal on her part. She is no longer working for me. But I have to pay her until June 2011. I'm not able to hire a replacement because I can't afford another person.
Is this agreement legally binding? Can I break it?
