In order for a non-compete agreement to be valid, the employer must have a legitimate business interest for requiring one. An employer can't simply demand a NCA simply because it wants to - there must be some good reason this particular company needs it.
You Can Void a Non-Compete by Proving Its Terms Go Too Far or Last Too Long. Whether a non-compete is unenforceable because it covers too large of a geographical area or it lasts too long can depend on many factors. Enforceability can depend on your industry, skills, location, etc.
Non-compete agreements are typically considered enforceable if they: Have reasonable time restrictions (generally less than one year) Are limited to a certain geographic area (specific cities or counties, rather than entire states)
Non-competes restrict where and when you can work after leaving your current job. Such agreements prohibit an employee from working for a competitor or from starting her own competing business within a geographical area for a certain period of time after leaving her job usually between six months and two years.
Non-Competition Clause Examples Example 1: Preventing former employees from using trade secrets. Example 2: Stopping contractors from competing with you. Example 3: Former partners limiting the geographical reach. Example 4: Extra protection in business contracts.
