I may or may not have signed a non-compete when I started working for a karaoke company in Salt Lake two and a half years ago. I'm still waiting for them to show me a copy with my signature on it.
I quit last month to start my own company, doing basically the same thing. I couldn't recall if I' d signed an agreement and I decided to just risk it.
My question is this: Someone told me that non-compete agreements are difficult or impossible to enforce in Utah being that this is a right-to-work state. Is that true?
Also: I haven't filled out a 1099 or W-4 form since I started working for them 30 months ago. I've been paid in handwritten personal checks the entire time and when I did fill out tax forms, it was a 1099, which I think makes me an independent contractor. Does any of this help my case at all? Or am I just grasping at straws?
Thanks very much,
