In order to be enforceable, a non-compete agreement must include an offer, acceptance, intent, and a benefit or consideration to the employee in exchange for his or her promise. The benefit could be as simple as getting the job or, for an existing employee, getting a promotion or raise.
Montana - Non-compete clauses are not enforceable except with the sale of a business or the dissolution of a partnership. Montana courts also do not generally uphold non-solicitation clauses.
By Janet A. In California, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, and Oklahoma, non-competes are either entirely or largely unenforceable as against public policy. Other states, including Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Washington, have banned non-compete agreements for low-wage workers.
It is possible to find non-compete loopholes in certain circumstances in order to void a non-compete contract. For instance, if you can prove that you never signed the contract, or if you can demonstrate that the contract is against the public interest, you may be able to void the agreement.
Despite the similarity of the language, Montana does not follow the lead of California (or Oklahoma or North Dakota, which also have Field Code-based statutes that they interpret to ban noncompetes). Rather, Montana permits noncompetes, so long as they do not operate as a complete restraint on an employee's work.
Under this rule, a non-compete agreement is enforceable if: (1) the covenant is limited to time and place; (2) the covenant is based on a good consideration; and (3) the covenant affords a reasonable protection for and does not impose an unreasonable burden upon the employer, the employee or the public.
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.
