Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
non-compete enforceable with bounced checks?
I have a non-compete with my current
employer, but I have had more than one
paycheck bounce, have had 401k
money withheld and magically appear in
my account much later, and had my
health and dental coverage lapse
because of my employer not paying
premiums. I assume that my non-
compete is null and void due to all of
this garbage I've been put through. Am
I correct by VA law? I can't imagine that
it would hold up since VA is a Right to
Work state.

Re: non-compete enforceable with bounced checks?
You could be very wrong in your assumption. The other items that you've mentioned might be adjudged as utterly irrelevant to the issue of your alleged breach of the noncompete agreement--
should you decide that you are no longer bound by the agreement.
