What's required
Non-Compete Void Notice
Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 16600; SB 699 (2023); AB 1076 (2023)
What's prohibited
Non-compete covenant or agreement
California Business and Professions Code § 16600 renders void any contract restraining a person from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business. As of 2024, SB 699 extends this prohibition to out-of-state agreements applied to California workers, and AB 1076 requires employers to notify employees that prior non-competes are void.
Broad employee non-solicitation clause
California courts have increasingly invalidated broad employee non-solicitation provisions as de facto non-competes under § 16600. While narrow customer non-solicitation clauses tied to trade secrets may survive, blanket employee non-solicitation is risky.
