Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

Re: No Compete Agreement

Whether the non-compete can be enforced depends, primarily, on its terms (are they reasonable), what state's law applies, and your particular circumstances (i.e, does the underpayment of your wages constitute a breach of contract that releases you from the non-compete).

Re: No Compete Agreement

It can be enforced if reasonable, however, there are some circumstances where it can be thrown out. You need an attorney to review the contract itself in order to get a full opinion.

Re: No Compete Agreement

Non-compete agreements are strictly construed. Unless they are reasonable in scope (i.e., reasonable in time duration and geographic location), they will not be upheld or, if upheld, limited in certain ways. If they are reasonable, however, they will be enforced.

Without reading the language of the non-compete along with certain other documentation, it is impossible to render an opinion as to its reasonableness.
