re: Non-Compete agreements are now illegal nationwide!

Did the individual gain anything?

Depends on when it's signed.

They are more enforceable when something is also gained by the employee, such as when they are hired and the employee gains a job. That is when one should be signed. Or when he receives a promotion or a raise, and the non-compete is a required component.

"sign or you are fired" is often not enforceable.
