The Legitimate Business Interests Test An employer cannot enforce a non-compete agreement against an employee unless it can demonstrate a legitimate interest that needs to be protected. In most cases, the only legitimate interest that justifies the enforcement of a non-compete clause is a trade secret.
Non-Compete Agreements are generally not enforceable unless they're used to protect trade secrets or a purchaser of a business, recover education or training expenses from an employee of less than two years, or restrict executive and management personnel or professional staff to those personnel ( C.R.S.
An employer can file a lawsuit and ask a court to enforce the non-compete and require the employee to follow its terms. Some employers may send a letter to the employee or to the employee's new employer threatening to file a lawsuit to discourage employees from taking a new job.
