The rule applies to all workers, with a limited exception for existing noncompete agreements with senior executives in “policy making” positions whose total annual compensation is at least $151,164. Despite objections from hospitals, the rule could implicate hospital and other healthcare entities that claim nonprofit tax-exempt status. While the FTC does not have the authority to apply the ban to nonprofits, the final rule makes clear that not all entities claiming tax-exempt status as nonprofits fall outside the Commission’s jurisdiction.
Once the rule takes effect, employers will be required to notify workers that their existing noncompete agreements are no longer enforceable.
