How well do non-competes hold up?

If the restriction on the employee is for an unusually long period of time, there's going to be a problem. One to two years is typically reasonable, while three to five years is unlikely to be upheld by a court.

Under California law, many non-compete agreements are automatically void. Evaluate whether your non-compete agreement falls under the general prohibition of California Business and Professions Code Section 16600. If the agreement was executed after January 1, 2024, it is likely void under AB 1076.

You agree that at no time during the term of your employment with the Company will you engage in any business activity which is competitive with the Company nor work for any company which competes with the Company.

Employers do not need to notarize non-compete agreements. The dated signatures of a company representative, such as a manager or HR representative, and the employee are typically sufficient.

Noncompete agreements are void and prohibited by law in California. QUICK SUMMARY: In California, noncompete agreements that are intended to prevent or restrain an employee from engaging in another lawful possession, trade or business during their employment have long been unenforceable.

Compensation: An employer must offer some benefit to the employee in exchange for limiting future opportunities. For new employees, the job offer itself is generally considered sufficient compensation. Still, existing employees asked to sign a covenant not to compete may be entitled to a raise or promotion.

The non-competition limitation in the employment contract might restrict the employee for a period of one (1) year from engaging in competition, “directly or indirectly”, with the employer within a radius of fifty (50) miles from the company's office.

Non-compete agreements can represent between 0.3% to 7.0% of the value of an acquired business enterprise, depending on the industry segment.

If the restriction on the employee is for an unusually long period of time, there's going to be a problem. One to two years is typically reasonable, while three to five years is unlikely to be upheld by a court.

Governor Newsom signed a bill into law that prohibits employers from entering into noncompetes with California employees that are void under state law. This includes a non-compete that restricts someone from accepting a new job with a competitor.However, there are some exceptions to this law. This law specifically applies to workers who moved to California from another state, one where noncompete agreements are legally enforceable. The new FTC rule has the right intent, but it's not a permanent solution. We strongly favor a federal law banning employment non-compete agreements nationally. California law prohibits employers from enforcing restrictive covenants against employees, particularly covenants that take the form of a noncompete agreement. California recently enacted AB 1076, which reinforces the state's broad statutory ban on noncompete agreements. The law took effect on January 1, 2024. Compete is not enforceable in the State of California.
