Expect Legal Challenges to the Proposed FTC Noncompete Rule

Employment attorney Michael Fallings joins the podcast to discuss a rule that could affect workers and employers.

Hiring and retaining workers are challenges every organization has to face, but a new proposed rule may further complicate the process. Recently, the Federal Trade Commission has proposed a rule that would ban noncompete provisions as well as some training repayment agreements. While such a ban could expand the pool of potential employees to hire, it could also severely hurt retention.

Michael Fallings is the Managing Partner of Tully Rinckey PLLC’s Austin office, where focuses on federal sector labor and employment law. He joined the podcast to discuss the proposed rule concerning noncompetes.
