Under the Noncompete Rule, the FTC adopted a comprehensive ban on new noncompetes with all workers, including senior executives. The final Noncompete Rule provides that it is an unfair method of competition—and therefore a violation of Section 5—for employers to enter into noncompetes with workers.

Noncompetes in the employment law context are expressly unlawful. Employers must notify California employees (and former employees) hired after January 1, 2022, that their noncompetes are void. (Employers had a deadline of February 14, 2024, to do this.)

16600.1. (a) It shall be unlawful to include a noncompete clause in an employment contract, or to require an employee to enter a noncompete agreement, that does not satisfy an exception in this chapter.

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.

On January 1, 2024, California introduced a new statute that makes non-competes unlawful “regardless of where and when the contract was signed.” This law has produced new uncertainty for employers around the country, and, predictably, litigation has taken off.

The only exceptions are non-compete or restrictive covenants that fall within one of the narrow exemptions authorized by statute, all of which relate to the sale of the goodwill of a business, or of a substantial ownership stake in the business.

Consider Legal Action. If negotiations do not yield a satisfactory result, you may need to consider legal action. This could involve filing a lawsuit to challenge the enforceability of the non-compete agreement or seeking a court order to invalidate the agreement.

Noncompete agreements are void and prohibited by law in California.

Tax Implications Non-compete agreements are generally taxed as ordinary income to the seller, which from the seller's perspective is less than desirable. But, for a buyer, it is expensed as incurred, which is desirable for the buyer but not the seller.

The following are the most common ways to get out of a non-compete agreement: Determine that the terms of the contract do not in fact prevent you from a desired course of action. Recognize when a non-compete contradicts the law. Negotiate a release agreement with the involved parties. Ignore the agreement.
