FAQ

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.

Noncompete agreements are void and prohibited by law in California. QUICK SUMMARY: In California, noncompete agreements that are intended to prevent or restrain an employee from engaging in another lawful possession, trade or business during their employment have long been unenforceable.

The notice must be: (1) made by February 14, 2024; (2) a written individualized communication to the employee or former employee; and (3) delivered to the last known address and email address of the employee or former employee.

(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.

California's SB 699 prohibits employers or former employers from attempting to enter into or enforce a contract that contains a noncompete agreement regardless of where the contracts were signed – whether in or outside of California.

Consider Legal Action. If negotiations do not yield a satisfactory result, you may need to consider legal action. This could involve filing a lawsuit to challenge the enforceability of the non-compete agreement or seeking a court order to invalidate the 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.

The following are the most common ways to get out of a non-compete agreement: Determine that the terms of the contract do not in fact prevent you from a desired course of action. Recognize when a non-compete contradicts the law. Negotiate a release agreement with the involved parties. Ignore the agreement.
