Are they even particularly widespread or a problem?
I thought non-competes were by and large unenforceable in the way most of them are included in contracts anyway.
It makes sense that someone working on cutting edge computing tech can’t just go and join a competitor, but it doesn’t make sense to say a barista isn’t allowed to work for any other coffee shop for a year as this is de facto punishment for leaving (Yes, ~10 years ago my SO had a short stint in a Starbucks franchise and this was actually a term in the contract), we just laughed it off and she got another job as a barista anyway.
This is an amazing change, these clauses are being used to lock employees in to some companies and prevent them ever leaving. Great to see Labour fixing all these problems.
This is both a major workers rights improvement and also massively helps the economy, as it allows talent to go where they are needed.
This is good. We want talent to move freely wherever it’s most needed, rather than wherever they got entrapped first.
I worked at a company where a colleague left to go to a competitor.
After they started their new job the boss sent a letter reminding the them that they were contractually obliged not to contact their customers for a set period of time after leaving.
A few days later he received an envelope back but the only thing it had in it was the letter he originally sent but it was all torn up.
They should cut 3 month notice periods too. Theyre incredibly unproductive for both employee and employer.
