A Non-Compete Agreement is a legal contract in which an employee agrees not to enter into competition with the employer during or after the employment period. It ensures that the employee will not use knowledge gained during employment to engage in business activities that could be detrimental to the company. This type of agreement is crucial for protecting a company’s confidential information and maintaining its competitive edge by restricting the employee’s ability to work in similar industries for a specified period within a certain geographic region.
