For an employee who is being asked to sign a non-compete agreement, it is advised that you are absolutely certain you understand the terms of the agreement before signing. For an employee who has already signed a non-compete agreement and is unable to work due to its boundaries, you may have options if, for example, the terms of the signed non-compete agreement are too general or broad.
Michigan courts DO enforce well-drafted agreements, so it’s imperative that you understand the boundaries and restrictions that will be enforced in the non-compete agreement. If it’s unclear, hiring an attorney to review and explain the terms is a good up-front investment to prevent a more costly non-compete litigation down the road. If the terms are deemed unreasonable, you may have the option to negotiate. With multiple offices nationwide, Traverse Legal can help advise on Michigan non-compete agreements as well as contracts from any state in the U.S. and beyond.
Employers have every right to protect their business interests from unfair competition, and a non-compete agreement that is drafted for the purpose of protecting a specific legitimate business interest or trade secret will do just that. It is always advised that employees who are being asked to sign a non-compete agreement understand and, if applicable, negotiate the terms therein prior to signing the document.
