FAQ
If an independent contractor violates a non-compete agreement, the company that issued the non-compete contract may take legal action against them. They can file a lawsuit seeking damages, a court injunction prohibiting the worker from engaging in competitive activities, or both.
Several factors can void or limit the enforceability of a non-compete agreement, including overly broad restrictions, unreasonable time frames or geographical limits, lack of consideration (such as compensation or job opportunities provided in exchange for the agreement), and violation of public policy.
The exceptions to the rule pertain to existing agreements with senior executives, sale-of-business non-competes, and causes of action that accrue before the rule's effective date of September 4, 2024.
Even workers labeled as “independent contractors”—who should have the freedom to work for multiple clients—are often required to sign non-competes that limit where they can work. Employers often present non-competes as a “take it or leave it” contract, forcing workers either to sign or forego employment.
California's Noncompetition Law Does Not Mention Employees The employment context is included within this definition. So are independent contractors. To state this another way: California' noncompete law is not limited to employees. It applies to any contract.
The ban covers all non-competes for U.S. workers (including employees and independent contractors) with limited carve-outs, and is subject to certain exceptions based on the FTC's statutory authority.
Determining whether to classify an independent contractor as an employee depends on factors such as: No minimum work hours or, if in sales, no minimum number of orders to obtain. No geographic or territorial restrictions. Ability to maintain other employment or work for other companies simultaneously.
Q: Are non-compete agreements enforceable in Georgia? A: Under Georgia's Restrictive Covenants Act, employee non-compete agreements are generally enforceable.
