Case: Individual Employment Rights/Contracts (Ill. App. Ct., 1st Dist.)

First Peek Ultrasound LLC in Illinois can’t proceed with its claim alleging that its former employee breached her employment agreement when she quit six months into her 12-month term, a court said. The agreement’s requirement that the employee pay back all costs related to her training—if she left before the end of her term—is unfair, the remaining terms are improperly one-sided, and severing the unenforceable parts of the agreement isn’t possible (First Peek Ultrasound LLC v. Weideman, 2018 BL 448592, Ill. App. Ct., 1st Dist., 1-18-0858, 12/5/18).
