I'm not saying they won't ask. I am saying they cannot ask. You are right, however. There are minimal to no consequences if the employee doesn't press the issue

I'm not saying they won't ask. I am saying they cannot ask. You are right, however. There are minimal to no consequences if the employee doesn't press the issue. If the employee did, I am not sure it would really go much further without significant resources to sue.

> I am saying they cannot ask Based on what exactly? I'm not familiar with any specific law prohibiting it.

  They can ask for anything. If you say yes, though, the only thing binding you is your own sense of obligation to keep your word. The promise to not look elsewhere is not legally enforceable (at least in many states; IANAL and I don't know whether it is not enforceable in all states).
