re: If you sign a non compete clause, and the contract is changed

If you sign a non compete clause, and the contract is changed/altered (literally) without your approval/initials, and the compensation agreement for base pay/% of production bonus was changed without any expressed or written consent after it has been signed, has it become void?

What is the significance of the change(s)? If it is relatively unimportant in terms of your compensation, then you might prevail but it could be a tough argument.

If you agreed to a non-compete in exchange for a compensation that would be expected to be $X, and they went in and changed it to something less than $X and paid you less than $X, then the non-compete is not so much void as not applicable (since they failed to perform their part of the agreement).
