Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
State contract staff
I am a contracted staff member for a state of Florida agency. The company I work for is listed as being under contract with the State of Florida which means any state agency can use their services.
Sometime this fiscal year (July-June), same as my current purchase order year, the state will no longer fund the contract position I hold as a contract position. THe position will be funded as state employee position thru another department in the same agency.
My question, based on the below information from my contract with my company, because my company is listed on the state contracting vendors, would this prevent me from seeking employment with the agency I currently work with and ANY state of Flordia agency? I am wondering if the below statement is broad to cover ALL. Can I also assume a Do Not Compete clause would not be applicable in this case, because there is no contract position for my company to acquire.
''Not accept employment with a customer, subcontractor, or client of contractor. For purpose of this section the term ''customer, subcontractor or client of contractor'' shall mean parties under contract with contractor and recipients of proposal from contractor. Survives 1 year after termination. ''

Re: State contract staff
In reading the language it appears the non compete clause would be applicable until the contract expires and the accepting agency will not be accepting proposals from your company.
