Kristin Case August 16, 2024 Employment Law, Non-Compete Agreements and Restrictive Covenants, Uncategorized 0

As we’ve discussed before, the Federal Trade Commision’s attempt to ban most employee non-compete agreements in the U.S. has sparked legal challenges.

On May 7, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) made headlines by passing a new rule that aims to ban most non-compete agreements. This move is part of a broader effort to promote fair competition and protect workers’ rights.

A Week of Good News

Last week I wrote about employers doing dumb things.  This week we’re sharing only good news.
