The Third Circuit Affirms an Employer's Use of Electronic Non-Solicitation Agreements
Associate

On February 7, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed a decision of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey finding that employers may use electronic signatures in certain circumstances to bind employees to restrictive covenants, such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements. The decision also shows that courts are more likely to enforce non-solicitation agreements tied to current customers and goodwill and, practically speaking, require a greater showing before enforcing an agreement that prohibits former employees from any and all competition with their former employers.
The decision from the Third Circuit arose from two companion cases, ADP v. Halpin and ADP v. Lynch. The central controversy arose when two employees from payroll processor ADP checked a box on the company website indicating that they had "read all associated documents" - including a non-compete agreement - in order to accept an award of stock in ADP. The stock award's acceptance was expressly conditioned upon the employees' checking this box and the non-compete agreement was accessible by clicking on a separate link next to the checkbox. According to the allegations in the complaint, the employees later resigned from ADP to join a direct competitor and began soliciting former ADP clients.
ADP thereafter brought an application for a preliminary injunction against both former employees. The trial court found that the employees were in fact bound by the non-compete agreement but granted ADP's application for a preliminary injunction only in part, enjoining the employees from soliciting current ADP customers and restricting solicitation of prospective customers only to the extent that the employees had knowledge of them while working for ADP. However, the Court permitted the employees to continue working for the competitor while the matter was fully litigated.

Networking without the use of Words
|
Psychologists tell us that nearly 70% of all communication is non-verbal. If you desire to successfully network at CCSNJ events make immediate and purposeful eye contact with whom you'd like to engage. Project a welcoming smile and raised eyebrows enhances the warmth.
In parts of Europe business people not only shake hands using their right hand, they also use their left hand to cover the shake. In essence, using both hands to warmly greet.
You may have read from a previous tip that positioning your name tag on the RIGHT side of your jacket, blouse or dress helps the new contact see your name quicker because it's positioned on the same side you shake hands in greeting.
Wishing you the very best in your efforts to grow.
