Understanding D.C.’s New Ban on Non Compete Agreements 1

However, on October 1, 2022 new D.C. legislation banning most non-compete agreements goes into effect. The legislation sets out which agreements are covered, who is covered, strict criteria for agreements with exempt employees, new notice requirements, and stiff penalties for non-compliance.
