FAQ
While NDAs are legally binding, there needs to be a balance of power in order for them to be enforceable. Most NDAs are connected with a severance package or final paycheck. If employee's sign, they forfeit their right to speak out. If they don't, they forfeit their right to receive a severance or final pay.
Violating an NDA can have serious consequences NDAs are legally binding contracts. If an employee has violated an NDA, then the company may take legal action. The most common claims in NDA lawsuits include: Breach of the contract (such as the breach of NDA)
If you are terminated, you may be asked to sign an NDA in exchange for a severance payment. Since employers are generally under no legal obligation to provide a severance agreement, this strategy is designed to prevent you from disclosing the terms of the severance and possibly that you received one at all.
While the 2018 law prohibited Washington employers from requiring an employee to sign an NDA, the Act now prohibits an employer from even requesting an employee to sign a prohibited agreement.
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)
A provision in a non-competition agreement signed by a Washington-based employee or independent contractor is void and unenforceable when the agreement requires the worker to adjudicate the agreement outside of Washington and when the agreement denies the worker protections established by the law.
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-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and non-compete agreements, also called a non-competition agreement or covenant not to compete, have distinct purposes. Both documents, however, are restrictive covenants that limit what an employee can say or do, and (often) where they can and cannot work.
The NDA is not a valid contract because there is no consideration. For a contract to be valid each party has to gain something. This is why many contracts include a token consideration of $1.
Typically, the only way to fight a non-compete agreement is to go to court. If you are an employee (or former employee) who signed such an agreement, this means you must violate the agreement and wait to be sued. It may be that your former employer has never sued another employee to enforce the non-compete agreement.
