Employers commonly condition the hire of a new employee on their willingness to agree in writing that after leaving the job, he or she will not engage in another job or a business that is competitive with the employer’s business. While such a commitment may appear to someone who is unemployed to be no big deal, that’s normally not the case. Being subject to such an agreement after one’s employment ends, is likely to create unexpected concerns for both employee and employer. In light of today’s tight job market, a terminated employee, with limited job skills and experience, may suddenly find himself with few, if any, employment opportunities. Because of a number of legal limitations on a former employer’s ability to enforce a non-compete agreement, employers attempting to do so may find themselves entrenched in costly and unpredictable litigation.
