A bevy of legislation passed by the Indiana State Legislature during its 2023 session will take effect on July 1. Here is a look at some of the laws that will impact healthcare, law enforcement, education and more in the Hoosier State: Senate Enrolled Act 7, authored by State Senators Ed Charbonneau, R-Valparaiso, and Justin Busch, R-Fort Wayne, will ban noncompete agreements, which bar .
The bill would prohibit New York companies from preventing employees from working for a competitor and could lead to more states passing similar legislation. Yet employment lawyers have their doubts.
The courts will be allowed to permit covered individuals to void any such noncompete agreement, enjoin the conduct of any person or employer, order payment of liquidated damages, and award lost compensation, damages, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
While employers that are already the subject of unfair labor practice investigations should have a heightened sensitivity to this new guidance, the NLRB and its active cooperation with other federal agencies means that all employers should be on guard.
New York S3100A,would ban post-employment non-compete agreements between employers and workers; S6748, would prohibit employers from entering into or maintaining non-compete agreements with workers, absent a good faith basis to believe a non-compete agreement is enforceable.
