"which would prohibit companies from requiring non-compete agreements for employees who make less than $15 an hour or $31,200 annually."
- ghaff 10y agoYes. This is basically aimed at a handful(?) of especially ridiculous cases of minimum wage service workers having to sign non-competes. ADDED: In other words, at the risk of being cynical, I suspect that this is mostly political grandstanding. I'm guessing that none of these have ever been enforced. And, whatever one's stand on non-competes generally, it would really be hard to defend the practice in this case with a straight face.
- sammydavis 10y agoThey have been enforced, against of all things sandwich shop workers. Those are mostly just to scare low income workers from leaving their job.
- compuguy 10y agoHonestly this should cover a wider reach of people (6 figure salaries and below). Some of these non-complete agreements are so full of legalese its hard to determine the scope of them.
