As of this writing, the FTC has effectively banned nearly all non-compete agreements as of September 4, 2024. Concurrently, Congress is considering comparable legislation. The momentum continues with state laws and rules are barring, limiting, or restricting employers' use of other various employment agreements including and not limited to confidentiality / non-disclosure, no solicitation, non-disparagement, and more. Join this program as we review the latest news, updates, rules and regulations limiting and restricting employers' use of these agreements, when, how, where, and for whom.

Learning Objectives:

• Compare and contrast the FTC’s ban on noncompetes existing before as compare to on or after September 4, 2024.
• Distinguish between Nondisclosure, no-solicitation, and noncompete agreements.
• Explain why the EEOC and NLRB feel nondisparagement agreements have a “chilling” effect.
• Build the business case to advocate for or against the use of one or more of these agreements.
