It's also worth noting that Jimmy John's has a quite nasty non-compete...
swapna:
What's a non-compete?
bhtooefr:
As in, employees can't work for a company that Jimmy John's considers a competitor for a certain period of time after their employment ends.
And theirs is particularly insane - it lasts for two years, and covers any business within 3 miles of any Jimmy John's that gets more than 10% of their revenue from selling sandwiches: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/13/jimmy-johns-non-compete_n_5978180.html
swapna:
Dang, English legal terms escaping me again, thank you for the explanation! :)
Doesn't the employer have to compensate the employee for lost income, then? The non competing clauses I've heard of were with compensation pay for the duration of the clause (like, half the salary or so)
bhtooefr:
Legally? Depends on the jurisdiction.
In practice? Probably not (even though there is apparently a lawsuit), because most of the affected workers won't stand a snowball's chance in hell of affording a lawyer or even the time to see a lawyer.
