Are you telling us that the non-compete clause you signed was part of a contract that guaranteed you not less than forty hours per week of employment?

At the time I signed this contract I was working part time for health reasons. I told my future boss that I didn't think I could work the 80 hours stipulated in the contract which I had already signed but he said that was no problem. He said he would take whatever I could give him. I worked for the next several years with no complaints on the hours I worked. Then this year suddenly hardly any work.
clarification: 80 hours per 2 week pay period
So you signed the contract knowing it applied to part-time work, giving us no reason to believe that it wouldn't continue to apply to your part-time work.
There remain questions of whether the contract is reasonable under the law, which would depend upon its terms. If you are intent on violating the contract I suggest that you take it to a plaintiff-side labor lawyer for review, as it is impossible to advise you about a contract term without reading the actual contract.
I see what you are saying. Thanks for you help.
