A non-compete clause is an agreement between an employee and an employer where the employee agrees not to enter into competition with the employer after the employment period is over.
An employer is someone who hires and pays wages, providing livelihood to individuals who perform work. This relationship confers authority on the employer, who can control and direct work, engage or discharge employees, and furnish working supplies. Employers are also responsible for the collection and remission of federal income and Social Security taxes.
