Learning Objective

  • Discuss assessing non-compete agreements as an employee, contractor, or intern.
  • Discover enforceable provisions and restrictions as an employer or party.
  • Find out what to ask potential employees about restrictive covenants.
  • Stay informed on legal trends and future expectations for non-competes.
  • Know about potential fines and penalties for demanding or enforcing non-competes.

Course Overview

Millions of employees, independent contractors, interns, and business owners have signed non-compete agreements to accept a new job. When we receive a job offer and are excited, we don’t always pay enough attention to the restrictive covenants that could impact our ability to change jobs in the future. 

These restrictive covenants, which limit what people can do during and after employment, are often a condition of new employment or can be presented to existing employees after they are on the job.  They can also be required of independent contractors, interns, and people selling their business.  In this CPE Course, we will discuss the most commonly known restriction – a Non-Compete Agreement – that limit departing workers from taking a job with or owning an interest in a business in the same industry as their current job for a set time period in a geographic range. Although some employers expect their employees who sign to be bound by non-compete agreements, federal and state law has been increasingly strict about whether these agreements are enforceable. 

In the current landscape, some non-compete agreements are illegal, and an employer can get into serious trouble just for proposing these restrictions or attempting to enforce them. The risks of not understanding these agreements can be significant, leading to legal consequences and potential loss of job opportunities. Employers and workers must empower themselves with the knowledge of the law that applies to their situation before considering entering a non-compete agreement. They should also understand whether other restrictive covenants, such as confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement agreements, are permissible. 

Major Topics Covered: 

  • Rights and Duties of Employer and Employee as to Non-Competes and Other Restraints
  • Independent Contractor Issues
  • Employees – Before Quitting, Assess the Situation
  • Protecting the Business When Someone Leaves
  • Confidentiality Protection Continues After Leaving

Join this CPE Course to ensure everyone involved in a work setting understands their rights and responsibilities. This will avoid potential legal disputes and consequences and empower them to make informed decisions that protect their interests.
