Very good question. It depends on the circumstances around how the agreement was executed. Assuming that the agreement was executed in exchange for your employment, then yes, it is generally enforceable. Pennsylvania does limit these agreements to a reasonable time period and geographical area. If on the other hand, your agreement is a standard company agreement, that it makes everyone sign at the same time, then its questionable whether the agreement is enforceable. So, the answer to your question depends on the facts of your specific situation. Feel free to contact me if you want more information.
