Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Employment Agreement
Is it lawful for an employer to request its employee in signing a policy stating that the employee is not allowed to engage (except the employment with the employer) in any other type of profit seeking activities except when the employee is only investing. There's also a clause stating that the employee agree to devote his/her full time to the employment. Thank you.

Re: Employment Agreement
California employers cannot prevent employees from engaging in any lawful activity outside the workplace that is not in conflict with the legitimate interests of the employer.
