FAQ

Under this law, in order to be enforceable, non-compete agreements must (1) be designed to protect an employer's reasonable competitive business interests; (2) have a reasonable duration; (3) have a reasonable geographic scope; and (4) prohibit competition only in a clearly defined line of business.

Outside of the employment context, to make your Non-Compete Agreement more likely to be legally valid, you should: Make sure the restrictions are reasonable. Consider the industry. Offer consideration. Avoid ambiguity. Make sure the agreement is necessary.

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.

As you can see, non-competes are not enforceable in California, although other states currently allow them. Instead, you can opt for a non-disclosure agreement, or hire employees who live and work in other states.

“(The rule) is hereby SET ASIDE and shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on September 4, 2024, or thereafter.”

1 Michigan courts continually uphold and enforce non-competes. 2 However, recent non-competes in Michigan have been subject to debate because of the many disadvantages such clauses pose to employees.

There are many legal defenses against enforcement of a non-compete or non-solicit agreement. For example: The agreement is overbroad in its time or geographic scope. The scope of the non-compete or non-solicit may be overbroad in geography or time.

If you are employed as a “just cause” employee and you choose not to sign the noncompete agreement, the Michigan courts have found that the refusal to enter into such agreement individually does not constitute “just cause” for termination.

In order to be enforceable, Michigan non compete agreements must reasonably restrict employee mobility, and must protect a legitimate business interest. Noncompete agreements are restrictive agreements that historically have been disfavored but tolerated in most of the 50 states.The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published a Final Rule that prohibits most noncompete clauses, which was set to take effect on September 4, 2024. A noncompetition agreement also known as a noncompete agreement or noncompete clause is a stipulation often found in employee contracts. Part I provides an overview of the non-compete clause. On April 12, 2023, representatives introduced House Bill No. 4399, which would place more restrictions on Michigan employers' use of noncompete clauses. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a final rule this week banning noncompete agreements in most circumstances nationwide. Compete agreement is a contract between an employee and employer. A new federal rule prohibiting companies from requiring noncompete agreements from employees may wind up reducing their use even if the rule is overturned. For Michigan employers, the legal landscape has yet to change.
