Non-compete after being fired

[leew]

What is the name of your state? TX working for Bergen County, NJ company
I am being laid off from a sales position at a NJ software company and they want to hold me to the non-compete agreement saying I cannot work for a similar company for 12 months. The severance package also referenced the non-compete. Would this stand up in NJ courts?What is the name of your state?

No one here can comment on an agreement they haven't read. You'll need to show it to a local attorney.

non-compete being fired

I am having trouble finding an attorney that represents "employees" in this matter in Bergen County. Any help would be appreciated?

I'm sorry, but it's not like there's a law that says when a non-compete can or cannot be enforced. It's going to depend on the wording of the agreement, and if we haven't read it, we can't tell if it's enforceable or not.
