RICHFIELD, Ohio, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A Texas federal judge recently struck down the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) proposed nationwide ban on non-compete agreements, which was set to take effect in early September. This ruling means that employers can continue to enforce non-compete clauses according to their state laws. However, with ongoing legal challenges and the evolving regulatory landscape, it's crucial for employers to stay informed and prepared for potential changes.

What Does This Mean For Employers?
