What Are Non-Compete Agreements?
Non-compete agreements are legal contracts that restrict employees from competing with their former employer by joining a competitor or starting a similar business. These agreements typically include restrictions on:
- Time: The duration of the non-compete restrictions.
- Geographic Area: The regions where competition is prohibited.
- Scope of Work: The type of work or industry subject to the agreement.
While these agreements are enforceable under New York law, they must meet specific legal standards, including reasonableness and alignment with public policy.
Common Challenges to Non-Compete Agreements
Employers may face disputes over non-compete agreements when employees claim that they:
- Are Unreasonably Restrictive: Agreements imposing excessive limitations on employment opportunities.
- Lack Proper Consideration: Claims that the employee did not receive adequate compensation or benefits in exchange for the restrictions.
- Interfere with Public Policy: Allegations that the agreement unfairly restricts an individual’s right to earn a living.
- Are Enforced Improperly: Disputes arising from the enforcement of non-compete clauses in cases where they may not be legally valid.
