Explanation:
A non-compete agreement is a contract between an employer and employee that forbid an employee from participating in a business that clashes with his or her current employer's business. Courts do not approve of non-compete agreements and when there are disputes over non-compete agreements, the courts consider certain factors to be able to decide if the agreement is reasonable.
Some factors that courts look when determining whether a non-compete agreement is reasonable include:
• whether the employer have legitimate interest it is protecting with the non-compete agreement
• the geographic scope of the restriction whether it hinders one from making a living.
• length of the non-compete agreement.
• whether the employer provides the employee with additional benefits or compensation in return for getting the agreement signed.
In Ohio, non-compete agreements are lawful. The state acknowledges the use of non-compete agreements.
In Nebraska, non-compete agreements are binding if the terms are reasonable and vital to protect some business interests such as trade secrets and confidential information.
