Do you work in HR? not sure max of 2 years is a Good Balance.
Especially if you can stop some one after leaving there first low payed job to not work for 2 years on 50% of their starting salary - do you not see the potential to abuse young workers here
- oezi 7y agoThe 2 years is a good balance for highly skilled employees who carry competitive information such as customer contacts or technology. After that time the information is likely mostly worthless anyway. I agree that for interns the situation is not good but believe the "reasonable" provision is most likely to make a non-compete with an intern worthless in court.
- walshemj 7y agoYou do know that non competes are not for protecting trade secrets right? You wouldn't get a 2 year non compete for a FSTE 100 CEO in the UK to stand up in court. A
- mrfredward 7y agoNon-competes get abused so much in the states because the cost to companies is next to nothing when workers don't push back. I don't think companies would go around giving everyone two-year non-competes if it meant they had to pay an extra year's salary to everyone who quits.
