if I quit working for a company, who are they to say who I can or can't work for? Contracts are not laws, only documentation of an agreement, but they're not free to say anything they want. Besides, wouldn't the contract be moot once I quit?
@@musicvarietyclips contracts are not necessarily "legally binding". They are not laws as a law must be passed by a legislature. A contract is itself documentation of an agreement and serves would serve as evidence of said agreement in a court of law, but a contract is only "enforceable" insofar as the law allows. for example, no one can use a contract to make someone vote for a particular candidate or make them commit force them to commit a crime, a landlord can use any clause in the contract to make you do free labor for them. Speaking of which, pursuant the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, no one can be forced to work outside of a sentence as punishment for a crime that the party in question has been convicted of. Even when employed, if you don't show up for work, they can't make you work. You simply won't get paid. In the event that someone was paid in advance for work which they did not do or complete, they effectively stole money from you and can be basically charged with theft to get that money back or they can be sentenced to do the work as punishment for the crime if convicted. The point is, a contract isn't a law or "legally binding".
My Non-Compete is 200 miles and two years, been stuck for 10 years. When I signed it I only made $16.00 so sad. I can't take an offer for a job for 80k salary.

I'm an in-home caregiver and I had to sign one. I almost didn't take the job because of it. I'm so happy for this change.

No, they are legally binding contracts. The NC usually has a time limit (6 months, a year etc) after that it is no longer in effect
