They'll know if it's ok to work in non-healthcare jobs during the non-compete. <br /><br />If the recruiting agencies say that you can't work for them in any industry, I'd suggest getting a lawyer. "Tortious employment interference" isn't ok.

However, I wasn't there long enough to really learn all the aspects of building like I should have. Now I am at a new site, and they have already gone live but everything is a mess. Do you know anyone (or can you yourself) who might be willing and able to help out so I don't look like a complete idiot? Unfortunately, none of my previous contacts at my former job are able to assist, mostly because they are gone now too.... thanks for all you do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2200696044657232984.post-54098911324149260272013-08-28T16:29:06.155-05:002013-08-28T16:29:06.155-05:00It's 40%, up to a maximum of $363, if my memor...It's 40%, up to a maximum of $363, if my memory serves. There are faqs on the DWD page linked at the top of this post that might have more specific and up-to-date information. And as far as I know you only get that money if you're fired, not if you leave "voluntarily."<br /><br />Letting yourself get fired is counter-intuitive, but Epic's own policies help you here. The most that they'll tell people asking about your references is "yes, X did work here." If you left under questionable circumstances, Epic isn't going to tell future employers, and neither will they tell future employers if you were a model employee. <br /><br />I suppose they give the Wisconsin Dept of Workforce Development a little more information, specifically whether you were fired or not, so the DWD can send you a check. From personal experience, I told everyone I was fired, and the checks came until I found work several months later.

I was discharged from my FT position as an analyst at a hospital last month, and I have multiple Epic certifications. Until I read your blog today, I wasn't aware of the non-compete clause. Because I was discharged, do I still have to wait or am I able to apply for another Epic position with a consulting firm immediately? And if I do have to wait, how do I find out what that time frame is? Thank you so much for all of your help!
