3 year non-compete, company owns any work you develop outside the company, and supposedly even applies if they terminate you
And they're doing it because "we give you a lot, so you should be grateful to sign"
if you don't sign, supposedly you won't get raises in the future
This didn't age well, the FTC banned non Competes yesterday for anyone other than senior level execs. Typical CDK, years late and millions of dollars short.
CDK knows (like many companies do) that the kind of expertise they need isn't easy to come by in the job market, but they do not want to pay for it or create the welcoming, stable environment to keep existing employees happy, so they (and other dubious companies) create these NDAs to 'scare' people into staying with them - and away from competitors. It is all a shady situation.
It's a 12 month non-compete. However it's more than 1 non-compete agreement in that document. It's several and it holds the employee over a barrel.
Not sure it's really enforceable in certain states. But they gonna make sure if you don't sign it that you will go away.
Most state laws invalidate non-compete agreements, even if you sign one (the only exceptions involve executives or sufficiently substantial retainers.)
Also, most state laws allow you to own anything you create or invent on your own time, and on your own equipment.
CDK cannot override this, and if they ever tried to enforce it, would find themselves heavily fined, and would be told point blank that it's invalid.
Too many companies do it anyway, banking on worker ignorance.
