FILE NO. 393

Summary

The bill declares any non‑compete clause unenforceable for employees earning less than twice the state minimum wage and for independent contractors earning less than five times that wage. For higher‑paid workers, a non‑compete can only last one year (or two years if the worker is paid their full salary and benefits for that period) and must protect a legitimate business interest without being overly broad. It also requires the agreement to be given to the worker at least five business days before they accept the job offer.
