[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7951155, member: 624844"] The thin line is if there is a "non-compete" clause contract. In some states, you cannot have a non-compete contract. In others, its the name of the game. This applies to the computer industry. Not sure if you can have a lawyer write the same for the audio industry. I make my employees sign one if they want to work for me. It states that they will not perform any computer repairs outside of work, except for friends/family on personal time. This is in effect for 1 year from the date of employment, per year, and covers a 50 mile radius. In other words, they can't just quit and go start their own business unless they move 50 miles away and find their own customers. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] The reasons are at least 3-fold. 1) No loss of business to outside work or "buddy" jobs for customers who become "friends" of employees.... 2) No loss of business from mistakes that your employees make that ruin the reputation of the business because "he works at X shop" 3) No loss of trade secrets, customers, or someone starting a competing business in your area. Companies do not grow if they give out all of their business/assets and just let anyone come and walk away with them. [/QUOTE]
