Non-compete documents signed by the employee are valid in all states. States do differ on the length of time the restriction can last, and the physical territory the restriction covers. Employers do enforce the terms of these documents and there are many, many court cases devoted to this topic. You should contract a local employment attorney who can review the document and review the terms with you in accordance with your state's laws.
