Here's a lawyerly question for you. If a person were presented with a contract that barred them from filing for unemployment, they would certainly have the right to tell the employer that the clause is illegal. But the employer in that case may refuse to give them the job. So is it in the employee's interest to just sign, knowing that illegal contracts are unenforceable? Or does the person risk harming his/her self by signing a contract that the person knows to be illegal?
