Course Description

Embark on an insightful journey through the intricacies of restrictive covenants with our online webinar. When we're offered a job, we often overlook the restrictive covenants that might impact our future job changes. These covenants can surface as conditions for new employment or can be presented to existing employees and independent contractors. The widely known Non-Compete Agreement limits departing workers from pursuing jobs in similar industries to their current roles, affecting their career mobility. However, not all agreements are enforceable or even legal, potentially creating issues for employers proposing these limitations.

These covenants span various categories like confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation of customers and employees, and non-disparagement. They usually bind workers from engaging in specific businesses within defined geographical areas for extended periods, influencing their career options significantly. Assessing enforceability, jurisdiction, and repercussions becomes crucial before binding oneself or accepting certain job roles, and understanding the limitations they impose on livelihoods.

For employers and business owners, understanding the implications of restrictive covenants is paramount to avoid legal entanglements. Ensuring compliance and evaluating the enforceability of such covenants, whether at the hiring stage or upon an employee's departure, becomes vital. Employers need to navigate whether potential hires are bound by such restrictions that might be violated by joining the company. Awareness of rights and responsibilities is key to sidestep legal battles and their consequential fallout.

This CPE Business Law Course serves as a comprehensive guide for employers and employees alike, unraveling the complexities of restrictive covenants, and empowering both parties with the knowledge needed to navigate these agreements effectively and responsibly.
