Does anyone know to what extent non-compete clauses are enforcable in Hawaii, given our small job market and geographic isolation? I know there was a bill being considered a few years ago which would have made them unenforcable for technology workers, but I don't know how that ended up.
We discussed non-compete clauses in the Finding & Retaining Talent in Hawaii Thread. Hawaii is one of a handful of states that imposes stringent requirements on non-compete clauses such as the terms being "reasonable and necessary" and the business having protectable business interests. This works in your favor, but you should consult your attorney for the specifics.
