Event Synopsis:
No-poaching agreements came under increased scrutiny after the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ's) Antitrust Division issued a joint guidance document entitled "Antitrust Guidance for Human Resource Professionals". The Guidance specifically prohibits certain types of wage-fixing and no-poaching agreements. Companies or individuals that pursue such agreements will be prosecuted as criminal antitrust violators.
Unlike the typical non-compete and confidentiality agreements between employers and individual employees, no-poaching agreements are agreements between employers or companies themselves, irrespective of whether they compete in the same product or service market. This type of agreement primarily aims not to lose highly trained employees, instead of intellectual property and trade secrets, to competitors. Both the FTC and DOJ regard no-poaching agreements as anti-competitive and unlawful violations of the Shearman Antitrust Act as it restrain competition in the employment market.
To ensure compliance with the Guidance and avoid unwanted legal liability, it is important for employers to review their current hiring policies and refrain from entering into such agreements with a competitor, or even with noncompetitors.
In a LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the risks of no-poaching agreements for employers. They will offer best compliance practices in light of the increased enforcement focus in this area and the challenges brought by employee turnover and top-talent retention.
Key topics include:
• No-Poaching Agreements under Antitrust Laws
• The Antitrust Guidance for HR Professionals
• Implications to Employment Practices
• Recent Enforcement Actions
• Best Compliance Practices
