If they are already employed by you and working under a written or verbal agreement it is typically not a good idea to fire someone after the fact for not signing an addtional agreement. Also, your noncompete must be reasonable.
For an noncompete to be legally binding for current employees, you must provide valid consideration (something of value). This might include:✅ A promotion, raise, or bonus in exchange for signing.✅ Access to confidential business information they wouldn’t otherwise already have.
