Yes employer can require you to sign noncompete agreement in order to keep you job. Question is how enforceable is the agreement. If they fire you for not signing, yes I believe you would be entitled to unemployment. Feel free to check out our employee rights blog at www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com
