updates: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has voted 3-2 to ban noncompete agreements, which currently affect 30 million people in the US. The rule, set to take effect in four months, would prevent US companies from barring employees from taking jobs with competitors. The Biden administration has targeted noncompete measures, which have increasingly affected lower-paid workers in addition to high-level executives. The FTC argues that noncompete agreements harm workers by reducing their ability to switch jobs for higher pay and limit the ability of other businesses to hire needed employees. Business groups have criticized the measure, and the US Chamber of Commerce plans to file a lawsuit to block the rule.

Version 0.34 (2024-04-24 01:22:09.476000)

updates: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has imposed a nationwide ban on non-compete agreements, with the country's biggest business lobby vowing to sue. The FTC voted 3-2 to adopt a near-total ban on non-compete provisions, arguing that such agreements are 'exploitative,' suppress wages, and hamper innovation and competition. The ban is estimated to increase wages by $300 billion per year and expand opportunities for over 30 million Americans. Opponents argue that the ban violates federalism and impairs the ability of employers and employees to enter into contracts freely. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce plans to challenge the ban in court. President Joe Biden praised the decision, stating that 'workers ought to have the right to choose who they work for.' Existing non-compete agreements will become non-enforceable after the effective date of the rule, except for senior executives. The FTC estimates that banning non-competes will spur innovation, new business formation, and wage growth.

Version 0.33 (2024-04-24 01:19:20.097000)

updates: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has approved a rule banning noncompete agreements, which prevent employees from taking jobs with competitors, in the US. The rule, which is expected to be challenged in court, aims to eliminate restrictions that affect around 30 million workers. Noncompete agreements have traditionally been associated with high-level executives but have increasingly been used for lower-paid workers. The FTC argues that such agreements harm workers by reducing their ability to switch jobs for higher pay and limit the overall churn in the job market. The rule will take effect in four months unless blocked by legal challenges.

  • ➔
Version 0.32 (2024-04-24 01:18:45.955000)

updates: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced a ruling banning companies from enforcing noncompete clauses in their employees' contracts. The ban covers the majority of existing noncompete clauses and aims to prevent companies from preventing their employees from joining competing firms or starting competing businesses. The ruling, which was proposed in January 2023 and received over 26,000 public comments in favor of the ban, will take effect 120 days after being published in the Federal Register. However, it is facing a legal challenge from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The ban is retroactive and nullifies all existing noncompetes, except for those applied to company executives earning more than $151,164 a year and serving in policy-making positions. The FTC estimates that 20% of American employees, or 30 million workers, are subject to noncompete clauses. The ban is expected to boost wages, with employees able to earn an average of $524 more per year by seeking new jobs in industries where they have appropriate skills.

Version 0.3 (2024-04-24 00:21:24.265000)

updates: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has voted to ban noncompete agreements, impacting 30 million workers. The ban will go into effect on August 21, 2024. The ban was approved in a 3-2 ruling by the Democratic-led commission, with the two Republicans on the commission voting against it. The Biden administration has been pushing for changes to noncompete policies since 2021. Existing noncompete agreements will not be enforceable for most employees after August, but will remain enforceable for senior executives. The ruling is expected to be challenged in court by businesses, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce plans to sue the FTC over the rule, arguing that the commission does not have the authority to create it.

The ban applies to all workers, including senior executives, and is considered an unfair method of competition. The ban is supported by labor unions and the Biden Administration. Existing noncompetes with workers other than senior executives are not enforceable after the effective date of the final rule. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce plans to sue over the new rule, arguing that the FTC does not have the authority to issue the rule. Tax services firm Ryan LLC has already filed a lawsuit challenging the ban. Several states have already banned or limited the use of noncompete agreements. [f6c7255b]

Version 0.08 (2024-04-23 10:20:01.678000)

updates: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is expected to approve a rule banning worker 'noncompete' agreements, which limit worker mobility and suppress pay. The rule was first proposed in January 2023 and is scheduled to be voted on by the five-member FTC, which currently has a Democratic majority under President Joe Biden. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has stated that it will sue the FTC if the rule is approved. The rule would require companies with existing noncompete agreements to scrap them and inform current and past employees that they will not be enforced. The FTC estimated that the rule could increase workers' earnings by nearly $300 billion per year and improve job opportunities for 30 million Americans. Several states have already banned or limited the use of noncompete agreements.
