Employers in the healthcare and staffing sectors were put on notice on Sept. 10 by the Federal Trade Commission that their employment agreements—particularly noncompete clauses—may include “unreasonable” restrictions against their employees.
Andrew Ferguson, FTC chairman, sent letters to an unspecified number of healthcare companies and staffing agencies requesting that they review their employment agreements to ensure that they are in compliance with federal law.
