QUESTION
Is my employer required to give me a copy of a non compete clause in order for it to be valid?
Asked on Aug 06th, 2012 on Employment Contracts - Ohio
More details to this question:
I signed it years ago but did not receive a copy. I would like to ask for a copy now but he has already denied it to a coworker. Is he required to produce a copy for me? I do not even remember what the specific language was and it appears my job is in jeopardy.

No, the employer is not required to give you a copy of the document, unless there is a clause in the agreement requiring such. If the employer were to try and enforce the agreement in court, the employer would need to attach the agreement to the complaint and serve you with a copy of the complaint and agreement.
If you have any concerns about the agreement you should contact a local employment law attorney to discuss what options you may have.
