My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Arizona
I read arizona will uphold a non compete clause of an employment agreement. "the employee shall not engage or have an interest, within his immediate workplace within a 25 mile radius of any off or other place of business ooperated by the company, alone, or in association with others, as principal, officer, agent, employee, director, partner, member, manager, or shareholder, or rendering of services.....for the term of the agreement." the period is 3 months. I am probably going to move out of state for another job. Will this affect me?
Also, this is a new agreement. The management sent an email stating "if the agreement is not signed and returned by ..... it is null and void and the emplyee will still be under their original agreement. Call the office to how it will impact on salary and bonuses if the agreement is not signed". I take this as a threat. Maybe it is just me. A little help of this will be appreciated. One last thing; in misc there is a statement stating this shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the state laws of FL", which is headquarters and I work in AZ for the company.
I take it it may not have bearing due to this statement, but not sure. Thanks.
