What is the duration of the non-compete? I would spend the couple of hundred dollars it will cost and consult a lawyer; a lot of what is put into contracts and agreements is not enforceable; it's there in the hope that people will accept it blindly.
Agreed. And I think I have accepted it blindly. It says for the duration of me working there and 2 years after I separate. But we have photographers who quit and worked for the portrait studio down the hallway in the mall. So I don't think that part is enforced. A good friend of mine is an entrepreneur and knows quite a few lawyers. I should give him a copy and have one of his lawyer friends take a look.
From what I have read (you may want to consult a laser in your state) a non compete agreement is only valid while you are currently employed by them. The moment your employment with them ends the non compete agreement is void.
