On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued the Non-Compete Clause Rule (“Final Rule”).[1] Under the Final Rule, after the effective date (120 days from publication in the Federal Register), almost all post-employment non-compete clauses covering workers will be considered an “unfair method of competition” that violates the FTC Act. These clauses effectively will be banned on a nationwide basis. “Non-compete clause” is broadly defined in the Final Rule to cover not only traditional non-compete agreements, but any agreement that “prohibits,” “penalizes” or “functions to prevent” a worker from seeking work with a different employer or starting a business following employment. “Worker” is also broadly defined to include employees, independent contractors and even unpaid volunteers.
