The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted 3-2 on Apr. 23 to on new noncompete agreements for all workers.
The ban includes a small carve-out that will allow existing noncompetes for senior executives, who are defined as workers in a “policy-making position” that earn over $151,164 annually, to remain in place. Existing noncompetes for all other workers will become unenforceable following the rule’s effective date, and companies will be required to inform current and past employees that the agreements won鈥檛 be enforced.
