In this episode, Carey and Lindsay sit down with Jennifer Weaver, a lawyer at Manning Fulton & Skinner, P.A., who specializes in insurance industry litigation, to discuss the recent ruling by the FTC banning non-compete clauses in employment contracts. She explains that non-competes are agreements between employers and employees that prevent the employee from working for a competitor during or after employment. The FTC's ruling prohibits employers from entering into or enforcing non-compete clauses with employees, independent contractors, and other workers. However, there is a narrow exception for non-competes with senior executives earning over $150,000 a year. Jennifer advises employers to review their agreements and consider alternative ways to protect their business, such as confidentiality and non-solicitation agreements. She also discusses the changes to the salary threshold for overtime exemptions and the importance of correctly classifying employees as exempt or non-exempt.
