    Default Non Compete Agreement

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: California

    Hi,
    I am on H1B and working for client X in California since 2 1/2 years. When I joined the client i was with company A and there is middle Company B.
    So it was like Company A -> Company B -> Client. I transferred my H1 B from Company C (Michigan) in 2009. So I no longer work for Company A. Company c is my employer.

    So now it is like Company C -> Company B -> Client

    But when I joined the client Company B (Arizona Employer) made a non-compete agreement between me as employee of
    Company A and it says I can't work for client directly.
    Now my client is ready to hire me for full time. Now since i no longer work Company A is this non-compete agreement still applies since I signed it. I was working and living in California for more than 2 years and I am paying taxes to California. I came to know that in California this agreement is illegal. Since I am a consultant to the California client, does this still will be a problem for me or my client?
    My client doesn't want go through any legal issues. Please advise me, I just want to know my options.
    Thank You

    Your best bet when a non compete agreement is involved, is to take it to an employment or contract attorney in your area for review & advice.

    I also signed a non compete and will be leaving my job for a new one, the non compete doesnt even have correct dates on it and I was told if I didnt sign it (60 days after I started my job) that i was not getting my pay check. I started 5/3/2010 and it is dated 4/30/2010 and also the notary didnt notirize it until 6/29/2010. They did not set a limit to which I could not compete also the territory they have, so basically it is restricting me worl wide is this even valid in Pa.
