Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
hi,
I'm working for an accounting firm, suddenly, they wanted me to sign a none compete agreement as a( condition of employment ) after five year of employment. Can they do that??

As a Franchise Attorney I can say the following. Unless you have an employment agreement or are part of a labor union, you are in an "at-will" employment relationship. This means either party can terminate at any time for any reason. You might check with your employer, but it seems signing the non-compete is now a condition of your continued employment. Before you sign anything, consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
