freedom82 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi, I joined a consultant in 2011 in CA. I had signed a non-competing with my consultant for $30,000. I have now moved to MA and am working for the same consultant. Now, my client have offered me a full time oppty. I am afraid that my current employer may ask the liquidity fee for $30,000. Please let me know if I should be paying the fee if it is legally binding and what are my options Thanks, R Link to comment
rahul412 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Yes, that agreement is still valid. Its better to check with an attorney. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 You should involve a LABOR Lawyer in MA and ask him to go through the contract and give you specific guidance. Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Non-compete agreements are generally void in California, as per the CA Supreme Court. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause#California Link to comment
Timmie Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 It could be that the employer could pay the consulting firm a recruiting fee to get you so that may void you of the non-compete if your consulting firm agrees. Link to comment
