California employers are tasked with new notice requirements! Employers must give notice to all current and former employees employed after January 1, 2022 whose contracts included a noncompete clause (or who were required to enter a noncompete agreement) that such clauses or agreements are void. This notice must be given to the employees by February 14, 2024. The notice has to be individualized for each employee, in writing, and shall be delivered to the employee’s or former employee’s last known address and email address. This is a significant task and employers should plan their compliance ahead of time.
