I live and work in Maryland. I was laid off from my job about 6 months ago...
Part of my employment agreement includes the following statement:
In consideration of the compensation.....During the term of my employment and for the period of twelve (12) months thereafter, I agree that I will not,.....With out prior written consent of the Company...be employed by......any business whose products or activities compete, in whole or part, with the activities of the Company....
When i signed this agreement I had no intentions of leaving and would still be there if I had not been laid off.
If I had quit I could understand the inforcment of this agreement but I was laid off. Can the employer force me to not work for full year.
