I work in the Real Estate game as an Independent Contractor. As a result of recent changes (2nd April 2018), the company directors must now pay a minimum wages.
1. Can they terminate my contract? (Orginial contract says either party can terminate with 30 days notice). If so, must they pay me?
2. I have not been asked to leave, however, I am now under considerable pressure to make sales (which I wasn't before). Can I start my own independent business (even though there is a non-compete), so that I am not subjected to this pressure?
3. Should I ask them to make the contract null and void to relieve them of any obligation to pay me/release me from the non-compete clause? (This is perhaps the most desirable outcome)
