OPT STUDENT NON COMPETE AGREEMENT


Recommended Posts

I am currently in my STEM OPT Extension. I was working with a consultancy as a contractor and was working at a client for that consultancy with following relation Consultancy -> Prime-Vendor -> Company. I have changed my employer to a different company ut the vendor and client are the same. Now, the consultancy people have sent me that I have signed a Non-compete and Non-Disclosure agreement with them and I  have violated the agreement. How can a student under OPT can be restricted from working as it is considered as a training. Now, they have sent me an attorney's notice that I've violated that agreement. I don't know how to defend myself against this case. Can some give me the instructions how can i solve this...

Incomplete agreements are generally valid (except in CA.) You sign stuff, you are bound by it. Don't sign things you don't understand.

Show that document to a labor lawyer. And next time, do that before signing.
