AB 1076 Notice Requirement AB 1076 requires employers to send a notice to employees informing them that any noncompete agreements or noncompete provisions in their employment contract are void in California. The notice must be written and delivered to the employee's last known postal address and email address.
The notice must be "individualized" and inform the employee that the noncompete clause or agreement is void. The notice must be sent to the last known address of the employee or former employee and to their email address.
Failure to Provide Advance Notice Can Affect Your Final Paycheck. While you might be able to quit at any time, California's labor laws do require you to give at least 72 hours' notice if you want your final paycheck at the time you leave.
AB 1076 also added new Business & Professions Code §16600.1, requiring California employers to notify current (and certain former) employees that any noncompete agreement or clause to which they may be subject is void (unless it falls within one of the limited statutory exceptions).
