Audio-Conference Description
On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a final rule banning most non-competes. Marketing and key staff members often signed non-compete agreements with their employers. What does the new rule say? How will it affect home health agencies, hospices, home care/private duty agencies, and HME companies? What can employers do? How should non-compete clauses be structured so that they may pass muster with regulators? What about geographic limits? What about the length of time that non-competes are in effect? Other types of restrictive covenants, such as non-solicitation and non-disparagement agreements may also be helpful to providers. How can providers use these types of covenants to protect themselves from potentially serious losses? What about the use of non-disparagement agreements to help ensure that former employees don’t “bad-mouth” employers? There will be plenty of time for questions during this teleconference and extensive handouts will be provided.
