Ask HN: Startup invoice not paid. Should I refuse separation agreement?
I&#x27;ve had a falling out with a startup founder I&#x27;ve been working for almost a year.<p>I submitted my final invoice, and he&#x27;s refusing to pay, but instead is offering a bit less then half.<p>He seems very anxious for me to sign a separation agreement...should I use this as leverage to get the full invoiced amount?<p>I believe he&#x27;s in a hurry because I was to be awarded a small chunk of equity if I worked with him for a year, and that year is up on just a couple months.<p>Worst case scenario is the agreement doesn&#x27;t matter &amp; I get none of my last invoice paid if I resist.
