Employment Contracts in New York
New York employment contracts must comply with the New York Labor Code. Hourly employees must receive a written wage notice under Section 195 of the Wage Theft Prevention Act at the time of hire.
New York courts enforce non-competes only if they are necessary to protect trade secrets or unique employee services, and are reasonable in scope.
