I'm looking forward to Monday marking the start of new rules on #NonCompeteAgreements between employers &workers. This new law was a major legislative priority for me, and I am proud that it was signed by the governor last month.

#NonCompeteAgreements are aimed at preventing workers from taking jobs with a business's competition, but they are too often abused, stifle #Innovation and block employees from finding work after being laid off. The new law applies to noncompetes entered into on or after Oct. 1.
The new law limits non-competes to 1 year, requires that an employee have at least 10 days to review the agreement, and exempts lower-paid employees. It institutes #GardenLeave (requiring employers to pay employees during the time their employment is restricted by a non-compete).
Under the new law, non-competes cannot be enforced against employees 18 or younger, those who have been terminated without cause or laid off, student interns, and employees classified as nonexempt under the #FairLaborStandardsAct, including those who earn $23,600 or less.
