What's prohibited
Waiver of minimum wage or overtime rights
Employees cannot waive rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Any provision purporting to waive minimum wage, overtime pay, or other FLSA protections is void as a matter of law.
Perpetual or unlimited non-compete restriction
Non-compete clauses without a defined time limit are generally unenforceable under US law. Courts require reasonable time limitations, typically 1-2 years. A perpetual non-compete fails the reasonableness test applied by virtually all US courts.
Waiver of FMLA leave rights
Employees cannot prospectively waive their rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Any provision requiring an employee to waive FMLA rights as a condition of employment is void.
Prospective waiver of anti-discrimination protections
Pre-dispute waivers of Title VII, ADA, ADEA, or other federal anti-discrimination rights are generally unenforceable. Employees may waive claims only after a dispute has arisen, with knowing and voluntary consent.
