The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced new proposed regulations that, if adopted, will ban the use of non-compete agreements for most workers nationwide. The proposed Non-Compete Clause Rule will prohibit all employers—regardless of size—from imposing on employees and independent contractors covenants not to compete with them.
