    Non-compete clause
    If a salesman signed a non-compete clause in the industrial industry 6 1/2 years ago and the contract terms have changed without signing a new non-compete clause is it enforceable? He is not privy to "trade secrets".

    Hello crane:

    Most non-compete agreements aren't legal if they prevent a person from working in their chosen profession for more than a year or so.

    What do you mean by "the contract terms have changed"? I would think if there were any material changes then the employee would have to sign the new version to make it binding - unless the original contract you signed included a clause that said as long as you're an employee you are bound by whatever changes the company may make in the future.
