NON-COMPETE New Employee Quits Can we alert his new employer?

LLindsay · January 2010

Non-Compete. We just had an employee quit that is clearly going to the competition, At a minimum should we send him a reminder letter of his signed agreement and can we send anything to his new employer?

I would say that you should do both. Remind the former employee and make the new employer aware of the agreement --it's possible that your employee never mentioned it to the new employer. You might also want to give your attorney a heads up on the situation.

Definitely check with your attorney. NCA enforcement is very dependent on the specific details within the NCA and very dependent on state employment/labor laws. If an NCA was unenforcable to start with, it might be a bad business practice to use that as a negative reference.
