It depends on what jurisdiction that you're in. Some states do not enforce theseagreements, while others will not enforce them if the employee was not terminated for cause; still others will enforce a non-compete no matter why the employee was discharged.

To find out more, contact your state's department of labor or consult directly with a local employment law attorney.
