You write “Lawsuits of any kind are expensive.”

This is very true. That is why skipping virtually all of that process by jumping to a confession of judgement — which means one admits “l owe this money and agree to a judgment for it, regardless of any money the employer may owe me or any claims l may have, none of which are presented here” — is great for the employer.

You wrote: “As an employee you still have plenty of rights.”

Yes, but to enforce those rights, one needs a lawyer—and, as you wrote, litigation is expensive. Actually, it’s much worse for an individual employer who doesn’t have a lawyer on staff, not can expense one as a cost of doing business. The employer only needs the advice and to litigate these issues ONCE. Each employee is alone and can’t benefit from previous experiences on the same facts.

Bottom line: What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Personally, l will sign a confession securing my obligations to any employer who will secure their obligations to me concurrently. Any employer stepping up for that equal trade? The silence is deafening....

You wrote: “The confession isn’t a big deal to me.”

I wager you’ve not a single confession outstanding against you today—and you’ve probably got car loans, credit cards, house loans, etc., not one of which has sought what we both know is an extreme remedy. And if you advised a client to sign one under these circumstances you’d be committing malpractice...even in Nevada.

Just my $0.02...worth what you paid for it....
