So I recently was interviewed and accepted a position at a new company. After accepting they sent me some documents to fill out, like an i-9, ect. As well as an “employee agreement”. This agreement says I shouldn’t solicit customers or employees, disclose private information, ect. It also says I need to provide a copy or this agreement to future employers for two years following me no longer working there. And then under “early resolution conference” it states “upon such a breach, employee agrees to pay employer $10,000 in liquidated damages upon demand by employer”
And that scares the hell out of me. Not like im planning to solicit employees or customers, but providing this to future employers for two years following termination, sounds crazy. And this $10,000 fine. I can’t afford that. Is this something to be worried about?
