Non-competition agreements have become a contentious issue for employers and employees in Virginia, particularly for employees in sales or who have specialized skills. In most cases, signing a noncompetition agreement means that if you leave your job or are fired, you will not be able to work for a company that competes with your employer for a period of time. However, if the agreement is poorly drafted, it may not hold up in court.
