Do You Have a Non-Compete? If you are subject to a non-compete, you should consult with a lawyer about what effect it may have on your business plan. A non-compete or covenant not to compete is an agreement not to compete with your employer in a certain practice and geographical area.
Consideration: Non-compete agreements must be supported by valid consideration, which means that the employee must receive something of value in exchange for agreeing to the restrictions. For example, the offer of initial employment, a promotion, or additional compensation may serve as valid consideration.
Compensation: An employer must offer some benefit to the employee in exchange for limiting future opportunities. For new employees, the job offer itself is generally considered sufficient compensation. Still, existing employees asked to sign a covenant not to compete may be entitled to a raise or promotion.
