Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I signed an employment agreement,with a non compete, 25 years ago when i started as a sales person.For the past 5 years, I have filled a management role. In the past year, the company has sold,with new principals.My question is, would the non compete still be enforceable, should I choose to leave? I never signed a new contract,when I went to management.
The original employment agreement is likely still enforceable. With that said, many non competition agreements are unenforceable because they constitute a restraint on the employee's ability to work. Before deciding to leave, I recommend that you have the employment agreement and non competition agreement reviewed by a lawyer at our firm so that we can provide a definitive answer as to whether the agreement is enforceable and how it will impact your employment opportunities.
