Create a Georgia Non-Compete Agreement with our customizable template!
In Georgia, a non-compete agreement is an agreement that relies on restrictive covenants to protect the business interests of a company. It is used by an employer and their new employee (generally a key employee) or independent contractor that outlines the employer's expectations once the employee's job comes to an end. Typically, such agreements limit the employee's actions for a certain period of time, and restrict them from procuring similar employment or engaging in competitive behavior within a certain geographic area. However, each employer’s non-compete agreement will vary according to the needs of the company.
An employment agreement or employment contract may also include non-compete clauses that adhere to O.C.G.A. To help ensure the enforceability of a non-competition agreement in Georgia courts, Georgia employers should seek legal advice from a law firm practicing employment law. This can help ensure that the non-compete adheres to the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act (RCA).
