HB949

Virginia HB949 prohibits employers from enforcing non-compete agreements with low-wage employees.

Virginia HB949 establishes that employers cannot enforce non-compete agreements with low-wage employees. It defines low-wage employees as those with average weekly earnings below a certain threshold or those entitled to overtime compensation. Employers are also prohibited from enforcing such agreements with employees who do not regularly solicit customers, make sales, or perform key employee duties. The bill allows employees to bring civil actions against employers for violations, with potential penalties for non-compliance.
