FTC Proposes Rule to Ban Noncompete Clauses

January 10, 2023

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Jan. 5 proposed a rule that would ban employers from imposing noncompete agreements with their workers. The proposed rule would apply to independent contractors and anyone who works for an employer, whether paid or unpaid. It would also require employers to rescind existing noncompetes and actively inform workers that they are no longer in effect.
