Status of restrictive covenants in protecting your business assets

As a result of the Pennsylvania ruling and the limited scope of the injunction in the Texas case, for now, businesses and employers still need to plan for the Rule’s potential effective date on September 4, 2024.

In a decision that employers across the country have anxiously awaited, the Northern District Court of Texas issued a ruling on July 3, 2024, on the Federal Trade Commission’s broad Non-Compete Rule that would ban most non-compete agreements. While the court found that the FTC lacks the authority to ban all non-compete agreements, at this point the court’s decision stops short of issuing a nationwide injunction that would fully halt the Rule.

Under the DOL’s final rule, the annual salary level to qualify for exempt status will increase in two steps resulting in an increase from the current $35,568 per year to $58,656 per year by January 1, 2025.
