I can't answer that, and neither can any other attorney, without reading the document itself.  I'd certainly like to see what, if anything, the company is giving in return for signing that agreement.  One place that you can look for an attorney to give you reliable advice, after reading the document, is our website, http://attorneypages.com

Don't be bullied into thinking that you won't get pay that you've already earned, if you don't sign.  Your lawyer can fill you in on all of your rights in this situation.
