The ‘Glass Ceiling‘ is a problem that is found in many corporations and businesses. The ‘Glass Ceiling’ is a type of discrimination that prevents women and people from protected classes from rising into the high ranks of corporate officials. Individuals within a company may bring a suit against the company based on ‘glass ceiling’ discrimination. This evidence of discrimination in these types of cases is often in the form of statistics. For example, if no person who is a specific race is promoted above the position of supervisor, then the all people of that race are being discriminated against. Therefore, ‘glass ceiling’ cases are often class actions.

Often times in the high tech industry employees are asked to sign non-competition agreements. This typically arises out of situations where the employee has access to sensitive proprietary information such as trade secrets or copyrighted or patented work.

The employer’s purpose in having an employee sign a non-competition agreement is to prevent the employee from leaving their company for a competitor, and taking clients, and proprietary information with them. While this is understandable, not all non-competition agreements are enforceable.

The California Business and Professions Code § 16600 protects employees from overly broad competition agreements. This code states that any agreement that restricts an individual from working is unenforceable by law. Courts will continue to protect employers from unfair competition, but they will not enforce overly restrictive non-competition agreements that burden an employee’s right to work.

If you believe that your employer has burdened your right to work by having you sign a non-competition agreement, call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg, LLP at 1-888-204-1014) for a free consultation. You can also visit us at www.discriminationattorney.com to learn more. We are a team of skilled attorneys that are here to help you.
