Non-Compete agreements are designed to protect the interests of a company. Many companies require that employees sign such documents upon hire. Signing a non-compete usually means employees agree not to start a competing business or work for a competitor for a specific period of time after their employment period ends. These contracts prevent employees from aiding your company’s competition. They are cooperative agreements that are best drafted by experienced attorneys with knowledge of the legality of certain issues.
