- The most important takeaway is the extraordinary breadth of the rule. Outside of very narrowly defined circumstances, all non-compete agreements are going to be unlawful.
- Many of the comments submitted during the public comment period focused on the need for employers to still use non-compete agreements for high-level managerial employees. The FTC did create such an exception, but it is exceedingly narrow. It applies only to the highest level executives and is limited to agreements already in place as of the effective date of the agreement.
- Even the exception for “sale of business” is narrower than traditional common law and statutory rules regarding business sales.
- Although nominally limited to what we traditionally think of as true “non-compete agreements,” the rule could have impact on confidentiality and non-solicitation agreements. The importance of having those types of agreements exactly right is now heightened.
- Employers need to make plans to comply with the notice requirements of the law.
- The Rule is currently subject to a legal challenge. How the court rules will of course impact employer’s obligations under the new rule.
