Default Re: \"No Compete Agreement\" - Am I being unreasonable?

actually, it won't hold up federally, not just some states. it falls into unfair and unenforcable contracts category. my gf went through this last year at her 20 person company. half the people didn't sign it. the owners were forced to give it up.

Another side to this, since you are in a right to work state, termination for failure to sign one after being employed would probably not stand up in court either.

A "contract" with no mutual consideration is not a legal contract. If anything, it might be considered a prommisary statement, and will not be enforcable.

Non-Compete agreements can be written in to an employment contract at the time of hiring, and will generally be enforcable as long as a reasonable geographic area is specified.

Non Compete agreements after hiring can be valid if they do include consideration for the employee, ie- Money, Stock, or a guarnateed severance package upon seperation from the company.

"Right to work" is being used in the wrong context in this thread. "right to work" states are states which disallow closed union shops.
