Termination Letter 2

Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC
11777 Katy Freeway Suite 260 South,
Houston, TX 77079

Dear: Rita Brown Peabody,

This letter serves as official notice that your employment with Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC is terminated effective immediately as of October 10, 2025.

This decision is based on a combination of serious conduct violations and breaches of your signed employment agreements. The following issues have been documented and directly contributed to this outcome:

Reasons for Termination:

Violation of Non-Competition Agreement
You are currently employed by a business that offers services in direct competition with Carolina Pintos Therapy. This employment was obtained without our knowledge or written consent and is a direct violation of the Non-Competition Agreement you signed. You are prohibited from engaging in such work during your employment and for one (1) year following termination within a 50-mile radius of our office.
Rude and Disrespectful Behavior
Your conduct toward staff members and the office manager has repeatedly been reported as rude and unprofessional. We have made multiple attempts to address this behavior, but no improvement was observed.
Tardiness and Attendance Issues
You have been consistently late to your scheduled shifts and clocking in from the parking lot, falsely representing your time worked. This is a violation of company policy and considered time fraud.
Inappropriate and Unprofessional Response to Feedback
When confronted about your repeated lateness, your response was inappropriate and dismissive. This attitude reflects a lack of accountability and respect for company procedures.
Breach of Company Trust and Investment
We invested approximately $4,000 into your professional training, with the expectation of long-term employment and adherence to our company values. Your disregard for our policies and the non-compete agreement demonstrates a breach of trust and a lack of respect for that investment.

Contractual Obligations & Legal Consequences:
As a reminder, you signed the following binding agreements:

Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement
Non-Competition Agreement
Non-Disparagement Agreement

You are legally obligated to uphold the terms of these agreements, even after your termination. Violating any of these may result in legal action. These include, but are not limited to:

Refraining from working in a competing business for one (1) year within a 50-mile radius of our office.
Maintaining confidentiality of all proprietary, client, and company information.
Refraining from making disparaging statements about the company or its staff for two (2) years following termination.

We will also be issuing a Cease and Desist Letter to your current employer, notifying them of your breach of contract and demanding the termination of your employment with them. Continued violations will result in formal legal proceedings, including claims for:

Injunctive relief
Breach of contract
Recovery of damages, including legal fees and lost profits

Last Paycheck:

Your last paycheck will be automatically deposited into your account unless you would otherwise prefer Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC to print and mail you a check. Your preference on your last paycheck shall be verbalized in our last meeting.

Thank you for your past efforts and all the best for your future endeavors.

Best Regards,

Carolina Miranda & Homero Miranda
