Shifting tides: Rethinking non-compete clauses in employment contracts

Non-compete clauses are provisions in employment contracts that restrict an employee from engaging in certain competitive activities after the employment relationship ends within a specific time frame and geographical area. Employers often use them to safeguard their business interests.
