Rights of Employees
Wyckoff, New Jersey Non-Compete Agreement Lawyers
Many companies require employees to a sign non-compete agreements and other similar restrictive covenants before hiring them or as a condition to keeping their jobs. These agreements require you to sign away or limit your right to work for a competing company after you leave your current job. They can be enforceable in New Jersey and New York as long as they are not unreasonable. However, they also can severely restrict your ability to find your next job, not to mention limiting your ability to negotiate a raise or promotion with your current employer.
