What is the name of your state? California
I own a Security and Locksmith business in So Cal. with one of my brothers. Another one of my brothers started working for me last week, however while still working for his previous employer he was required to sign a not to compete agreement that stated that he could not work for another company or run calls with in 20 miles of that shop for 2 Years. (Signed it because he was told that bonuses would be withheld if he did not and it stated that if the company was sold he would get 1-3% of the sale.)
I know that we are not permitted to use his customer list (Question about that is to follow), but are we bound to not allow the employee to work in this same area that we also cover?
Customer List?
Does this agreement prevent us from sending solicitations to All (we do not have any copy of his customer list) property management and real estate people within 20 miles of his shop the same area that we also service (even before the hiring)?
Everything that I read states that Not-To Competes are not valid in California.
