Workers on gardening leave could hold an auction between their new prospective employer and their current employer. If the old firm can match the new one, they can keep the employee on gardening leave. If they can't, they can take the new job, though I guess that's strictly less freedom for the employee than the system you describe.
- OkayPhysicist 1y agoThat's not a noncompete, as far as things like California's prohibition on them are concerned. That's just a job, where you have no job duties. There's nothing saying that an employer can't fire you for having a second job, and there's nothing saying your employees have to actually DO anything for you to pay them.
- bottlerock 1y agoThat's true for the State of California, AFAIK. But in places (or some type of organizations) with just cause instead of at will, firing you for moonlighting would be illegal if it didn't conflict with an actual required duty.
