Re: Non compete Agreement

The validity of the agreement is not affected by a RIF unless such an express condition is set forth in the contract itself. You may ask for a waiver, but they are not required to give you one.

Re: Non compete Agreement

Whether or not you can, or will for that matter, be held responsible for the non-compete agreement depends on the particular circumstances and the language in your non-compete.

I would be happy to review the document for you. If you would like to discuss your situation further, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.
