Non-competes are 💀. Or are they? The rule is being challenged in two courts in Texas and one in Pennsylvania, with the FTC’s authority and the scope of the rule being questioned. So what can you do for now? 1. Wait and see what happens with the legal challenges. 2. Rewrite contracts to remove noncompetes. 3. Sit on the fence by retaining noncompetes only for high-level executives. What do you think about this recent ruling? #FTC #Noncompete #legal #HR #People

Three months from today, the FTC's rule banning most noncompete agreements based on the argument that they are an unfair method of competition will go into effect! As of September 4, 2024, employers may not enter into new noncompete agreements or enforce noncompete agreements for any employees other than senior executives defined as those who make more than $151,164 per year and are in a position to make policy. Despite ongoing legal challenges, don't wait to take action! Employers should have all of their current noncompete agreements and clauses reviewed by legal counsel as well as the positions of the employees who signed them to determine if they are legal and enforceable. Legal counsel may be able to offer suggestions to possibly keep them enforceable in certain situations. Employers will need to provide written notification to any employees who will no longer be held to their noncompete agreement, for which the FTC provided model language. Employers should also have legal counsel draft new noncompete agreements going forward. #noncompeteagreement #FTC #workplacecompliance https://lnkd.in/gTuSnsTt

Last week the Federal Trade Commission has voted to ban noncompete agreements in the United States! Moreover, this applies not only to new noncompete agreements but also to existing ones. This policy is set to go into effect in August. Those of us who have employees in the US better watch out, as this could shake things up in a major way. Here's what's on my mind: 1. Job-hopping season may be back. Without noncompete clauses, keeping top talent might get trickier for some companies. They'll definitely need to up their People Ops game to keep their best people onboard. 2. With the influx of top talent entering the job market unrestricted, employers may have to reassess their Employer Value Proposition strategies. What once set them apart on the job market may no longer suffice. 3. We've got some paperwork to shuffle. Contracts and policies will need a tweak to stay on the right side of the law.
