Protecting Your Cash Flow (Part 2): What Your Employment Contract Means for Your Income
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your paycheck is your biggest wealth-building asset—are you protecting it?
In this episode, we continue our deep dive into protecting your income stream by unpacking something most high earners overlook until it’s too late: employment contracts.
I’m joined by attorney Emily Catania, who breaks down what you actually need to understand before signing a job offer—and what to revisit if you’re already employed or worried about a potential layoff.
We cover:
- What to look for (and question) in employment contracts beyond salary
- How benefits, retirement plans, and health insurance can make or break an offer
- Non-compete agreements: what’s enforceable, what’s negotiable, and what’s changing
- How to use AI as a first pass to spot red flags in contracts
- What severance agreements really mean—and how much leverage you may still have
- Key steps to take immediately if you’re laid off or worried about job loss
- Why your financial advisor, CPA, and attorney should work together
If you’re a high earner with RSUs, growing family responsibilities, or career mobility on your mind, this episode will help you protect your earning power—and make smarter decisions before emotions take over.
