BOISE, Idaho — Idaho achieved a notable distinction last year: It became one of the hardest places in America for someone to quit a job for a better one. The state did this by making it easier for companies to enforce noncompete agreements, which prevent employees from leaving their company for a competitor. While its economy is known for agriculture — potatoes are among the state’s biggest exports — Idaho has a long history as a technology hub. And the new law landed in the middle of the tech world, causing a clash between hungry start-ups looking to poach employees and more established companies that want to lock their people in place. “We’re trying to build the tech ecosystem in Boise,” said George Mulhern, chief executive of Cradlepoint, a company here that makes routers and other networking equipment. “And anything that would make somebody not want to move here or start a company here is going to slow down our progress.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/14/business/economy/boise-idaho-noncompete-law.html |

The statute applies only after the court has found the employee/contractor to already be in breech of the agreement and irreparable harm has been established. |

There is a valley in Idaho where America still exist! Doomsday Preppers Idaho Right Wing Preppers planning a walled town on a N. Idaho Mountaintop https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2013/1/6/1176714/-Far-Right-Wing-Preppers-planning-a-walled-town-on-a-N-Idaho-Mountaintop To make sure they won't attract the "wrong" types of people they explicitly spell out who won't be welcome. Marxists, Socialists, Liberals and Establishment Republicans will likely find that life in our community is incompatible with their existing ideology and preferred lifestyles.

I find it interesting how Republicans are all "right to work" when it comes to employees being fired on a whim by their employer, but all "noncompete agreements" when it comes to employees wanting to quit their jobs. |

Good guys wear white hats

funny you should say that, because I was about to say... ...right to work laws address this type of thing quite nicely companies should have a right to enforce non-competes insofar as preventing folks from sharing proprietary information with competitors but they should not be allowed to prevent people from moving into other jobs in the same industry the problem arises when someone tries to bring clients & customers with them; if you use the resources of a company to develop a client list; those clients rightfully belong to the company but the company should not be able to prevent you from leaving and developing new business elsewhere this sounds like a crappy law |

I find it interesting how folks are quite willing to comment on the law without actually having read the law. |

I don't know, nor do I care who Carlos Sims is. I'm referring to the Idaho statute. Edited by ringotuna, Jul 18 2017, 12:43 AM.

Absolutely, god forbid that a liberal be allowed to comment on a thread without having done a thorough research job of having read all the laws involved rather than having just the reading the news article linked, like most of the conservatives.

The actual law: HOUSE BILL NO. 487 The law only applies to the highest paid 5%, and as Ringo pointed out, only applies after a court has found the employee to be in breach of an agreement. Ironically, I'm currently under a non-compete agreement that's stricter then would be allowed in Idaho. |

I find it best to at least try to have some idea of what I'm talking about before shooting my mouth off, but if you wanna go a different route...hey knock yer self out. The thing is Opie, these days much of the information we gather, and unfortunately rely on, is spoon fed to us through a media filter, which either omits pertinent information (disinformation by omission), misrepresents the facts, or outright lies to us. Doesn't matter if you're right or left, they think we're all stupid. Wadda ya say let's endeavor to prove them wrong rather than make excuses for preventable ignorance.
Until you set your goal higher, you have no intellectual high ground over them. |

Thank you thoughtless. Here is the relevant wording. (6) If a court finds that a key employee or key independent contractor is in breach of an agreement or a covenant, a rebuttable presumption of irreparable harm has been established. To rebut such presumption, the key employee or key independent contractor must show that the key employee or key independent contractor has no ability to adversely affect the employers legitimate business interests. |
