| Non-compete agreements | A non-compete is void unless it is supported by valuable consideration, is no broader than needed to protect the employer, and does not impose undue hardship. Non-competes cannot apply to employees paid solely by the hour, and cannot stop a former employee from serving customers who come to them without solicitation. After a layoff or restructuring, a non-compete is enforceable only while the employer keeps paying the employee. Source: NRS 613.195 |
