    Default Changed Contract After They Fired Me

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: I am an independent contractor with a Theater company in Orlando Florida. I had signed a contract to do a certain show. They changed the show but I had not signed a new or revised contract with the proper changes. I had traveled down to Florida from Ohio where I live, to visit friends and go to a production meeting. At this meeting I was to sign a new contract. The morning of the meeting, we got in an argument when I asked for some travel reimbursement and they fired me via e mail. I believe Florida is a work at will state. So, I think they are ok for firing me. But today they sent me a letter of termination. It's been two weeks and they now want me to sign a letter of termination for the new show that will remove any financial responsibility of the theater. In discussing this with them, I reminded them that I had not signed a new contract. They told me they had a signed contract for the new show. They have changed the contract to represent the new show, but they did it after I signed it. I never received a new version or initialed one. It may not be illegal but it seems creepy. Yes?

    The "new contract" is not valid if you did not sign off on the changes.

    You'd do well to discuss things with an attorney in your area.

    Just as a matter of semantics, this is not an employment law issue, since you were not an employee; it is a contract law issue only.
