Have you ever been asked to sign a non-compete agreement as part of your employment contract? How did you feel about it?

In some industries this may make sense. .taking trade secrets on how to build a vaccine or a certain machine ..but not in normal day to day healthcare roles. I wouldn't sign one. The only reason to bring that up would be to cut the employee off from easy employment anywhere but with their current employer.

Yes, I’ve been asked before. I felt cautious—non-competes can limit future job options. I reviewed it carefully, considering how restrictive it was, and whether it would impact my long-term career plans before signing. Always worth consulting a lawyer if unsure!

These are soon to be illegal nation wide I believe. They are a thing of the past. I wouldn’t sign one now, but if I had to, it will be meaningless soon.

I wasn’t a huge fan but as long as there’s something else you can do in town I wouldn’t mind it. I did wounds and had one. But I was able to change to family and I could still do wounds in a different setting. It’s rarely upheld. You can tell them no and see what they say. If they want you bad enough then they might change the offer. But if that’s the only thing you do, position-wise, I wouldn’t do it.

Yes in every healthcare job over the last 20 years. It’s standard. Look up the legislation in your state as it’s going away soon by me anyways. Only in extreme cases are they “typically” enforced. Mine were usually by zip code.

Yes. But as of last month the Supreme Court ruled them no longer binding.

I have never been asked to sign a non compete agreement. The matter was address in conversation and a statement that said I could not work for a client while employed with a certain company or be employed by anyone associated with them for six months after separation from them.

Pretty standard stuff these days, nothing to worry about just review them before signing.

Thanks this is helpful
