A judge dismissed Payscale’s attempt to enforce a noncompete agreement against its former director of sales, ruling it was overbroad. The defendant left Payscale and joined a competitor 10 months later, sparking the lawsuit. The court found the agreement prohibited nationwide work in almost any role for any company conducting business similar to Payscale’s parent company. The decision serves as a reminder that noncompetes face scrutiny for overbroad stipulations. Employers can explore other options like nondisclosure agreements or garden leave to protect their business interests.
