Pennsylvania's Act of Jul. 17, 2024, P.L. 846, No. 74 sets rules for non compete agreements with health care practitioners. A noncompete covenant entered into after the effective date of the act's noncompete subsection is void and unenforceable by an employer, except as the act provides.[1.1] Section 4 puts it this way:
Except as provided under subsection (b), a noncompete covenant entered into after the effective date of this subsection is deemed contrary to the public policy and is void and unenforceable by an employer.
The act leaves room for some agreements. An employer may enforce a noncompete covenant if it lasts no more than one year, provided the health care practitioner was not dismissed by the employer.[1.1] Three more points apply:
Section 5 of the act adds a duty for employers. After a health care practitioner leaves, the employer must notify the practitioner's patients seen within the past year of the departure. The employer must give the notice within 90 days of the practitioner's departure. The requirement applies to a practitioner with an ongoing outpatient relationship with the patient of two or more years.[1.2]
