In July 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order which encouraged the Federal Trade Commission to curtail the unfair use of non-compete clauses and other clauses that may unfairly limit worker mobility. The FTC recently proposed a new rule that would ban employers from imposing non-competes on their workers - the FTC is seeking public comment on this proposed rule. 


Today, we will be discussing the use of the non-compete clause, the FTC’s new ruling, and recommendations about what employers need to know and should be doing in response. Subscribe to our podcast today to stay up to date on employment issues from law experts worldwide.
