05.13.2024FTC’s Final Rule on Non-Competes May Not be the Final WordIn a controversial move, on April 24, 2024 the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) announced that beginning September 4, 2024, it will enforce its Final Rule banning most non-compete agreements that seek to limit a worker’s ability to change jobs. The Rule also requires employers to notify those workers who have non-compete agreements that are nullified by the Rule that these agreements are no longer enforceable once the Rule takes effect; written notices must be sent no later than September 4, 2024. The exceptions to the FTC Rule are few, and extend to non-compete agreements (i) entered into with a business’s senior executives before September 4, 2024, (ii) entered into between a buyer and a seller as part of a bona fide sale of a business, or (iii) that are part of a franchisee-franchisor relationship.
