My wife recently gave a 1 1/2 week notice to her employer that she will be leaving. The recently fired her with a week to go. She was employed in St. Michael, MN, and is going to work in Plymouth, MN. She did sign a non-compete clause when she was hired. I believe it has a 20 mile. radius. Her employer is telling her the mileage is as the crow flies. Please help me with this.

Non competes are extremely difficult to enforce, particularly if the former employee was fired, or if the former employee is not receiving severance.
Unless your wife's line of business involves crows as clients, then no judge in his right mind would accept a direct radius stipulation on the DNC. Rest easy, your wife will most likely not be sued, and if she is, you would most likely win, along with court costs.

If the company is having their workers sign them, then I would bet they are legal.
I assume by no compete, that means she cannot go to work for a competitor within a certain distance. Some companies have them set up so you can't work for a competitor nationwide. If you sign the form, you agree to abide by it. If not, then likely they will not allow you to work there.
