Create a Hawaii Non-Compete Agreement with our customizable template!
In Hawaii, a non-compete agreement uses restrictive covenants to allow companies to protect their trade secrets, confidential information, legitimate business interests, and business practices by receiving a written promise from employees and contractors they hire. Non-competition agreements often contain specifics that the employee must refrain from and are governed by state law. These specifics often include promises that the employee will not pursue a new job with a competitor for a specific period of time or that he or she will not engage in competitive behavior within a specific geographic area.
A non-compete agreement may be its own contract or part of a full employment agreements package. An employment contract may also include a non-compete clause. Generally, it is also used with a nondisclosure agreement within the employment relationship. However, before drafting this sort of contract, the employer should seek legal advice from a law firm that practices employment law to help ensure that the contract complies with Hawaii Revised Statutes, including the new law, which involves technology businesses and their inability to use these documents.
