Federal Non-Compete Ban


The federal government has implemented a ban on non-compete agreements for low-wage workers and interns. This prohibition aims to protect employees' rights and promote labor mobility. Employers need to advise employees that are bound by these agreements that the agreements will be vacated on the effective date of the new rule. The information must be communicated in writing to the affected employees.

There are a few industries that are exempt from this requirement. We encourage you to seek advice from your legal counsel.

Effective Date: Estimated September 2024
