Legal Question in Business Law in Kansas

Non Compete agrrements
Quick question....
Over the past couple of years I have heard several times that a general non-compete aggrement can not hold up in court but is used just to sway people from quiting.
Also, I know without actually seeing the agreement, what constitutes the non - compete aggreement? does this mean I can not find a better job and further my career. I am in the computer/network field

Thanks
Chuck

Re: Non Compete agrrements

Generally speaking, the restrictions in the non-compete agreement under Kansas law must be "reasonable." The analysis is along these lines:

1. Does the agreement protect a legitimate business interest of the employer?

2. Does the agreement creat an undue burden on the emmployee?

3. Does the agreement harm the public welfare?

4. Are the time and territorial restrictions reasonable?

Without seeing the agreement, it is impossible to advise you if it complies with the above analysis.

Thank you for your question. Please contact me if you have any other questions in this regard.
