Non-Competition Agreements and the Law
When a business hires an employee in a field that involves trade secrets, confidential business information, or is highly competitive, it is routine for the company to require the employee to sign a non-compete agreement limiting the ability for the employee to work in a similar business enterprise for a certain period of time and within a specified geographical area.
Noncompete agreements provide companies and business executives with a degree of assurance that the company secrets they provide to employees will not soon thereafter be used against the company by a competing company who hires the employee.
