Prohibits no-poaching agreements in franchise arrangements.
This bill prohibits franchisors from requiring franchisees to include no-poaching agreements that prevent hiring employees who currently or previously worked for the franchisor or other franchisees in the same chain. It directly affects franchisees and their employees, particularly in industries like restaurants and fast food where such agreements are common. The bill amends the Franchise Practices Act to allow employees to sue franchisors or franchisees for violations and recover damages, including attorney fees.
