Scheduled to take effect on September 4, 2024, the Non-Compete Rule banned non-compete agreements, including any agreements that “function or prevent” a worker from seeking or accepting work or operating a business; made it unlawful to enter into, enforce, or attempt to enter into or enforce, a non-compete agreement ...

The very basic requirements are that the non-compete must (1) be in writing; (2) be part of an employment contract; (3) be based on valuable consideration; (4) be reasonable in scope of time and of territory; (5) not be against public policy.

The rule defines a prohibited “non-compete clause” to include any contract term, workplace policy or term or condition of employment that prohibits a worker from, penalizes a worker for, or functions to prevent a worker from seeking work, accepting work or operating a business after the conclusion of the employment ...

The FTC Rule does not contain express penalties for failing to send notices or for sending inadequate notices. The remedy would likely take the form of an enforcement action filed by the FTC, which could seek injunctive relief, civil penalties (up to $51,744 per violation, adjusted annually) and other remedies.

California generally bans non-compete agreements “regardless of where and when the contract was signed,” and “whether … the employment was maintained outside of California.” Practically speaking, California prohibits all employers from enforcing these agreements.

On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission issued its long-awaited Final Non-Compete Clause Rule, which operates to ban most post-employment non-compete agreements between employers and their workers.
