I didn't end up taking it, but I was offered a job with a company based out of Illinois that did this. Upon termination (voluntary or otherwise) the company had the choice to enforce the noncompete clause or not. If they chose to enforce it I'd have gotten paid my salary for the duration. A lawyer explained to me that this was how they were working around Illinois restrictions on non-compete clauses. Normally the terms they were applying wouldn't be enforceable, but by continuing the salary they were essentially extending the employment agreement.
