🔔 #WorkforceWednesday: Can the FTC’s non-compete ban survive without Chevron deference? Listen to the full episode now on our Spilling Secrets podcast: https://bit.ly/4bZtEgW The FTC’s ban on non-competes will go into effect on September 4, 2024, but legal challenges remain. So, how can employers prepare? Attorneys Peter Steinmeyer, Erik W. Weibust, and Paul DeCamp tell us more about how the U.S. Supreme Court’s overruling of the Chevron doctrine might affect the FTC’s ability to regulate non-competes. They also discuss a Texas court’s preliminary injunction against the FTC’s non-compete ban* and how various legal challenges have led to a somewhat anticlimactic atmosphere in the employment landscape related to the ban. *On Tuesday, July 23, after this episode was recorded, a federal judge in Pennsylvania reached the opposite conclusion and declined to temporarily halt the FTC’s non-compete ban. #NonCompetes #EmploymentLaw #HumanResources
