assuming I don't count as being in a "policy setting" position, I'm looking forward to jumping ship to a major competitor with only 2 weeks of notice. I hate the leadership of my current employer.

Oh boy another Boomer hate thread.
I'm a boomer and I started working 35 years ago and signed a no compete with my first company that was run by um, what were the guys who fought in WWII? oh yea! the Greatest generation [sarcasm] those guys really fucked this country up after they returned from the war [/sarcasm] I bailed and they tried to enforce a no compete, and even back then they knew they could do nothing to enforce it and they would lose if they took it to court. You know what I did? It wasn't whine and bitch about the previous generation back then making life hard for a young guy like me trying to make it in the IT world. I moved on, they moved on, I got a better job signed no competes at all of them and it never prevented me from finding a better job. I certainly didn't sit around whining and bitching about the corporate assholes keeping me down. The current crop of managers and VPs running allot of the most successful companies are not boomers and they still lose people all the time. |

Seems lame that they can stop you from working in your industry.
The anesthesiologist was a good example. WTF else is he going to do? I don't buy that the 3M marketing person couldn't go somewhere else. Sure, maybe not to a direct competitor marketing the same electrical tape but... Every job I've had has had people go directly to competition and hired directly from competition. We've had offices and factories in very weird parts of the US simply because the competition was there which made hiring easier. |

Non-compete contracts have been limited under common law to relatively short duration, to a limited geographic area, and to the specific business, rgardless of extra restrictive terms actually in the contracts.
The FTC has no actual authority to prohibit private employer/employee contracts. This is pure government overreach in search of a problem. |

It costs roughly $125K (family doc, peds) to $250K (specialists) to bring a physician on board. You start paying them on day one, but it's weeks to months before their collections start to come in and cover costs. Our clinic estimates it takes 1-3 years to get back what was invested to bring on a physician. So if you spend that $125-250K on bringing in a doc and they bail in 6 months and set up shop across the street, you've really got no recourse. The money is gone and can't be recouped unless they're generating fees. So you put a 1 year and reasonable geographic non-compete on them. Our clinic's non-compete is 1 year AND 5 miles from your primary office. So, you can set up shop 5.1 miles away (as the crow flies) tomorrow and you're good. Or you can wait a year and set up across the street. Or, you can buy out of the non-compete. We've had physicians leave and choose each of these options. And while I realize that this will cause hate on this board, that's how it works right now. If non-competes are eliminated globally in the US, all the companies will adjust and figure it out. But for those who are very confidently saying that non-competes are never enforceable, you clearly have never dealt with a professional or executive level non-compete. I'm not talking the "sandwich artist" at Jimmy Johns who can't go to Subway here. In my state, these non-competes are very enforceable if they meet the state rules (1 year only and geographically reasonable). You can't really hide your practice if it's in the area. Your old clinic WILL find out and will sue you and you will probably lose and get to pay attorney's fees too. We still have a few former physicians who decided to test this. They're still paying us their judgement and our attorney fees. Would've been much cheaper to buy out of the non-compete that they voluntarily signed upon hire. The amount is specified in their contract. A court judgement and attorney fees aren't, and they're always more. Practically, if a physician is working for another group with a non-compete, part of the recruiting package might involve paying the buy-out on the non-compete. We've done that, and other groups have done that when someone left us for them. Also, we expire our non-competes at 5 years from your hire date, so you can leave scot-free and set up across the street at 5 years and 1 day if you want. Philosophically, I don't like non-competes. But as a private practice clinic owner, I very much understood why we had them. Hate on! Originally Posted By spidey07: You guys don't get it. Non compete has zero bearing. It's just a tool employer uses to squeeze you. Best words "I'm going to quit, and there's nothing you can do about it. Our agreement is severed" ETA: Our clinic is privately owned, by the physicians. We have around 100 shareholder/owners. We very much want the clinic structure and administration to make the company and the work environment to be as good as it can be, both for each physician and for the company at large. We want physicians to want to work here and to buy in as a partner. Many will complain or grouse about non-competes when they come on. As soon as they buy in as a partner, they realize very quickly why we have non-competes.

A business development manager from the preferred company left in the middle of the process, and with his intimate knowledge of his previous employer’s bid was able to adjust his new employer’s bid just right so they ended up winning the bid. The previous employer sued and won. Though, as you said, the NDAs probably had more to do with the win than the non compete. But from what I understand the non compete was used to sue the guy personally. |

Originally Posted By PDP_Main: You folks who bag groceries or deliver pizza don't have the intelligence, skills, or experience to understand a non compete or the need for it. You foolishly think it's black or white, and it's not. At it's most basic level, it prevents an employee from taking his customers and their business to another company. There are a lot of companies that depend on the personal relationship between an employee and their customers, and the knowledge that employee develops. The employee builds that relationship while drawing a salary from a company, the company is just trying to protect themselves from predatory recruiting. They learn the field while at that company, and a competitor gets to hire them away with all they've learned and achieved at the expense of that company. It's no different than intellectual property, which most of you won't understand either. If you can't understand the need, it's because you don't have skills or knowledge that need to be protected. Nobody is forced to sign a non compete. If a NCA is required, it's because the skills and knowledge you develop are unique to the company, and you don't have to take that job if you don't want to sign. So it's a contract. I had to sign one for a current employer under the threat of not getting my bonus that year. That made it unenforceable, signed under threat of retribution. When I left that company, a lot of my customers cancelled orders and went with a competitive product. And I wasn't working for the other company, I just had the relationship and was the reason they were staying. Of course the sales reps who used to be my friends, had to have an enemy and someone to blame for losing that business. They threatened to go to court, but they knew it wouldn't stick. NCA rules and rulings are pretty fair. In my state it cannot be too broad in scope or duration. And that's fair. A sales rep agreeing on the front end that he won't call on his customers for 9 months after he leaves is not too broad in scope or duration. And, that commitment is required to get that job. And again, nobody made him sign it. That 9 months gives the company time to replace him and level the field. I say all this having had a NCA used against me frivolously.

Originally Posted By Steamedliver: @Sartorius Are you saying your clinic bring on new physicians with 100% of existing physician salary, benefits, etc? View Quote Mostly yes. We start them on a guaranteed salary for the first year. After that, they typically go on production. Occasionally takes two years for their collections to fully support the expenses of their clinic, including their own pay. 401k match, insurance, disability, everything from day 1. For a PCP, this might mean paying $220K/year from day 1. For some specialists, it might be $350-450K from day 1. Minimum of 60-90 days before the majority of their billings from day 1 come in to accounts receivable. And they're now going to be very busy the first days or weeks, although that usually ramps up pretty quickly. Once they're clearly covering their expenses and they go on to production, then they're likely making more money. But a new resident just coming out can't easily float along for several months making no money. And a hospital will pay them a bit higher salary when they start. But they'll never be an owner and they'll have limited opportunities to get bonuses. If you're in private practice and on an eat-what-you-kill model, it motivates those who wanna work and wanna crank. We have a few making seven figures. So yes, it's a big expense to bring them on. If they bail, we're out a large chunk of the money we've put into them. Does that answer it? |
