Today, Jon from Contract Diagnostics speaks on recent news that has brought a major change: the FTC's nationwide ban on non-competes has been overturned. This means the regulation that aimed to eliminate non-compete agreements for all workers, including physicians, is no longer in effect. While some states have adjusted their rules, the nationwide ban is suspended, and current non-compete agreements remain valid until altered by your employer or contract. In light of this, we've put together a checklist to help you navigate the essentials of your non-compete agreement. This includes understanding the time and geographic restrictions, potential buyout options, and negotiation tips. If you need guidance on how these changes affect you or help with your contract, feel free to reach out for a consultation. Stay tuned for more updates and checklists!
