Recently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a final rule banning noncompete agreements in most aspects of employment. Specifically, the agency believes the ban will help promote competition between businesses. As a result of eliminating noncompete agreements, the FTC says a worker’s fundamental freedom to change jobs is now protected. Additionally, the agency believes that innovation will increase and new businesses could be formed. https://lnkd.in/ggqnKez8 #employers #employmentlaw #ftc #noncompete #humanresources

Non-compete agreements have been banned for all workers, including new ones for senior executives with a phase-out of existing executive agreements, with the aim of increasing job production. However, this ruling may also compromise the protection of trade secrets and intellectual property. Key personnel should be allowed non-compete agreements if their intellectual property is at risk. I believe that if non-compete agreements are made for key personnel, they should be properly compensated. One of my non-compete agreements was illegal in Texas because it was made as a condition of my continued employment when I became an officer. The FTC should not be allowed to control contractual agreements with employees who could cause irreparable harm if they could compete immediately with their employer but also should receive due compensation. #noncompete #compensation #intellectualproperty

It's a definite maybe. The ban on noncompete agreements is back on again...sort of. A Philadelphia federal judge ruled that FTC rule would be allowed to stand. The rule issued in April would essentially ban the use of such agreements and make existing ones unenforceable. But it's not over. A separate case in Texas is awaiting a decision, leaving employers in legal limbo. And that's not necessarily the end of it. Roughly 18 percent of the U.S. workforce, or 30 million people, are covered by noncompete agreements. The use of noncompetes is widespread and spans across industries from fast food workers to physical therapists to CEOs. In many cases, they really don't make much sense. And in some states such as California where noncompetes have been non-enforceable for years, they're often still included in the pile of HR paperwork workers must complete and sign the first day of work as a condition of employment. For employers, the argument for such agreements is they protect workers from taking proprietary and confidential information to a competitor. On the flip side, tens of millions of employees have been prevented from leaving to work for a competitor or start a competing business. In the broader sense, they've been used to prevent upward mobility. It likely won't be over for a while. Regardless of the decisions by either court, the reality is this will likely face a number of appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court. Unless they're based in states with specific bans and policies around noncompetes, employers will likely be in a legal gray area for a while longer https://lnkd.in/gU_PJjFt #noncompete #workers #workforce #talent #hiring #humanresources #legal

Federal regulators on April 23rd enacted a nationwide ban on new noncompete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission voted 3-to-2 to approve the new regulation, which will ban noncompetes for all workers when the regulation takes effect in 120 days. This represents a huge shift in the mindset of the workforce and employees who have played by this rule for years and regarded the statue as common practice. It is simply to protect corporate proprietary information, trades, client bases and internal workings; but for employees and personnel that work within a specific industry and trudged through the ranks, it represented corporate overreach to control their career path, earning potential and ability to better themselves.

The federal government took an unprecedented step yesterday by finalizing a rule seeking to ban non-compete agreements between nearly all employers and all workers. If the rule survives legal challenges, companies will not only be prohibited from entering into most new non-competes, but they will also be prevented from enforcing existing non-competes in all but a few circumstances. The rule is slated to take effect in August 2024, but is already being challenged in court. Read on for an overview of the final rule.
