About Noncompete Agreements
A noncompete agreement is generally used before an employee begins work, but the agreement is typically not effective until after the employee leaves the company’s employment. These agreements usually protect trade secrets or other knowledge learned during an employee’s time working for that employer. It can effectively protect business interests and prevent the employee from later competing against their former employer. An employer has the right to protect certain information and to keep a competitive edge, just as the employee is entitled to protect their rights to earn a living through their chosen trade.
