Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania
I got released from a job yesterday and signed a SAR. Today I got a potential offer for a competitor, but there is wording in there about competitors. Is there any way to get around it?

To be valid a restrictive covenant has to be reasonable in length of time, geographic area, and it its terms. Generally, an employer does not want you to take his customers and trade secrets over to a competitor.
