If you’ve got employees or former employees in California, and you’ve been using noncompetes in your onboarding materials, it’s time to make some changes. A new California law makes those noncompetes illegal, subject to fines, penalties and employee suits. Have noncompetes in place now with California employees? Better let them know that those provisions are void, and fast.
In this client alert we let you know about the scope of the new law, the requirement to notify existing California employees and what needs to be in that notification.
Please read our alert for more information.
