Document background
The Non Compete Clause in Offer Letter is a critical tool for protecting business interests when hiring employees with access to sensitive information or valuable relationships. Used extensively in the United States, particularly for executive and technical roles, this document must comply with varying state laws and recent federal scrutiny. It typically includes specific restrictions on future employment, geographic limitations, and duration, while providing appropriate consideration to ensure enforceability. The clause is particularly relevant when onboarding employees who will have access to trade secrets, client relationships, or proprietary information.
