FAQs About Colorado Non-Compete Agreements
Are non-compete agreements still enforceable in Colorado?
Yes, but only for highly compensated employees earning at least $123,750 annually (2025) and only when the agreement protects legitimate trade secrets. Otherwise, they're void and could cost your business $5,000 per employee in penalties. The agreements must also meet Colorado's strict notice and documentation requirements.
What happens if I use a non-compliant non-compete agreement?
Colorado imposes severe penalties: a $5,000 fine per employee, plus actual damages and attorney fees. Even attempting to enforce a non-compliant agreement triggers these penalties. This makes proper legal drafting absolutely essential before implementation.
Can I still protect my business without traditional non-competes?
Absolutely. We help businesses implement non-solicitation clauses, confidentiality agreements, and trade secret protections that stay within Colorado law while still safeguarding what matters most. Many businesses find layered protection strategies more effective than relying solely on non-competes.
How long can a Colorado non-compete agreement last?
There's no fixed limit, but courts reject agreements extending beyond what's necessary to protect legitimate business interests. Common enforceable durations range from 6 to 24 months, depending on industry and trade secrets involved. Technology and healthcare may support longer restrictions than general business roles.
What are Colorado's specific notice requirements for non-compete agreements?
Colorado has uniquely strict notice and documentation requirements. You must provide notice before an applicant accepts a job offer, deliver the non-compete as a standalone document (not embedded in other contracts), and give current employees at least 14 days' advance notice. Failure to follow these procedures voids the entire agreement.
What makes an employee "highly compensated" under Colorado law?
For 2025, employees must earn at least $123,750 annually for non-compete restrictions and $74,250 for customer non-solicitation agreements. These thresholds are adjusted yearly for inflation by Colorado's Department of Labor. The employee must meet the threshold both when signing the agreement and when attempting to enforce it.
