As a small business owner, this is perfectly fine. It's fair for our employees to jump ship - we wish them well and often they come back.
What I'm more concerned with is Non-Solicitation Agreements where our employees can't poach our customers based on inside knowledge - and it looks like those are still fine and good in Massachusetts.
- ghaff 8y ago>Non-Solicitation Agreements Aren't those fine and good pretty much everywhere, including California?
- xenadu02 8y agoThe situation is murkier in this regard. For the most part, anti-solicitation that covers recruiting people to switch jobs is void in CA. Non-solicitation that covers customers? I’d clear that with a lawyer first.
- ghaff 8y agoAnti-poaching is pretty hard to enforce generally though I've heard of ex-employees systematically trying to recruit ex-coworkers being told to knock it off. (I'm guessing it would be hard to do anything besides scare them off a bit though.) But I'm thinking more of non-solicitation in the vein of calling your entire client list and trying to get them to move. That's much more broadly enforceable.
