Last week, California law expressly codified Edwards v. Anderson, 44 Cal.4th 937 (2008) 'to void the application of any noncompete agreement in an employment context, or any noncompete clause in an employment contract, no matter how narrowly tailored, that does not satisfy an exception in this chapter' through AB 1076, which was signed into law on October 13, 2023.
Of more immediate impact, the new law imposes the burden on employers that entered into noncompete agreements with employees after January 1, 2022 to give notice to employees that the noncompete is void. And, this must be accomplished by Valentine's Day, February 14, 2024.
