Question 42 Points

You take a job as a salesman for a software company in Florida. Your territory is limited to the state of Florida and part of Alabama. You do not have an employment contract but are still asked to sign a non-compete. The non-compete prohibits you from accepting another sales job in the states of Florida and Alabama for 3 months. Your brother runs a beer distributor and hires you to manage sales for the southern region which includes Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida. Your old company finds out about this and sues to prevent you from taking the position. Is the non-compete enforceable and explain why or why not.

Question 52 Points

I'm an independent contract working on the hockey rink here at Sacred Heart. I was contracted by the company doing the construction but I'm a carpenter who does other work beside this project. I think it's funny to yell sexual insults at students when they walk by. You report this activity to Sacred Heart. They tell you that since I'm an independent contractor there is nothing Sacred Heart can do to stop it. Is that correct?
