On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rolled out its final rule essentially banning non-compete agreements. The new rule will go into effect Sept. 4, 2024, and will affect, ing to the FTC, 30 million people or 18 percent of the American workforce who are under some form of non-compete agreement.
(c) Employee name agrees not to set up in business as a direct competitor of company name within a radius of number miles of company name and location for a period of number and measure of time (e.g., “four months” or “10 years”) following the expiration or termination of this agreement.
On January 1, 2024, California introduced a new statute that makes non-competes unlawful “regardless of where and when the contract was signed.” This law has produced new uncertainty for employers around the country, and, predictably, litigation has taken off.
9--During the term of the agreement, you cannot compete with the Company at any location by providing any of the same services that are provided by H&R in the area.
Employers do not need to notarize non-compete agreements. The dated signatures of a company representative, such as a manager or HR representative, and the employee are typically sufficient.
For decades, noncompete agreements have been almost entirely unenforceable in California. At the end of 2023, the California legislature expanded its ban on noncompetes to encompass contracts entered outside of California by enacting California Business and Professions Code section 16600.5.
On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission issued its long-awaited Final Non-Compete Clause Rule, which operates to ban most post-employment non-compete agreements between employers and their workers.
The Court therefore held the Non-Compete Rule “shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on its effective date of September 4, 2024, or thereafter.”
On April 23, 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission voted 3-2 to finalize and promulgate a rule banning most non-compete clauses in employer-employee contracts.
