Non-Compete Agreements in Oregon

Strictly limited. A non-compete is void unless: the employer gave written notice in an offer at least two weeks before the job started (or it was signed upon a real promotion); the employee is a salaried exempt worker; the employer has a protectable interest such as trade secrets; the employer gives a signed copy within 30 days after the job ends; and the employee's annual salary and commissions at termination exceed an inflation-adjusted threshold (base $100,533). It may last no more than 12 months. Customer and employee non-solicitation agreements are not covered by these limits.
