Hello,
I currently work for a business that when I started I signed a non-compete agreement for 18 months after end of employment. However, I then quit for six weeks. They then hired me back in a different position. Upon re-hire, I did not sign the non-compete again. In fact, they said I'd have to re-sign the handbook and everything (which includes the non-compete form), but then bookkeeping never got it to me. So I haven't signed any of that stuff at the second hire, just the first time.
So my question is, am I allowed to leave (Which currently I have no intentions of doing, just curious.) and go to a competitor after 18 months from when I first quit? Or does my first signature carry over, even though I quit for 6 weeks?
