The law does not allow an employer to inappropriately restrict where you can work or what type of job you can have if you leave their company. These data therefore imply that by deciding to choose a three-year limit instead of two, an employer moves from a confederation that is normally applied to a confederation that is not. While there are certainly cases where contracts with restrictions of two years or less have not been applied, the data generally indicate that employers will be most successful in enforcing non-competition clauses if they stay within two years. In fact, of the eight cases where a limit of two years or less was removed, all but one26 contained either territorial restrictions of at least two hundred miles27 or were applicable to health professionals.28 .
