| Question of the Week | | Can't answer the question in your email? Click here to view as web page before commenting. | The Massachusetts House approved a bill last week that restricts the use of non-compete agreements. The bill would limit the length of non-compete agreements in most circumstances to 12 months and prohibit employers from enforcing the agreements on minimum-wage workers, college students or employees 18 and younger. Do you support reining in non-compete clauses? Yes. Most employers use them unnecessarily. Yes. They restrict people's right to work in the field of their expertise. No. Non-compete clauses need to be broad to be effective. No. Intellectual property and trade secrets must be safeguarded. | |
