The Federal Trade Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday on finalizing a rule prohibiting employers from imposing noncompete provisions on their employees, contractual clauses the agency says restrict workers from seeking better employment opportunities and harm competition.
The proposed rule, announced by the FTC in January 2023, would ban employers from entering, maintaining or attempting to enter a noncompete agreement with an employee, or conveying — absent a good-faith basis — that a worker is subject to a noncompete clause.
