Bill > A3715

This bill limits the enforceability of restrictive covenants, also known as non-compete agreements, in New Jersey. The key provisions include: (1) requiring employers to disclose the terms of restrictive covenants to prospective employees, (2) limiting the duration and geographic scope of restrictive covenants, (3) prohibiting the enforcement of restrictive covenants against certain categories of employees such as low-wage workers and those terminated without misconduct, (4) requiring employers to continue paying employees during the restrictive covenant period, and (5) declaring "no-poach agreements" between employers to be void and unenforceable. The bill aims to stimulate New Jersey's economy by preserving jobs and providing opportunities for employees to establish new businesses and job opportunities within the state.
