Ex-Boston Beer employees file class action over noncompetes
USA | Boston Beer’s noncompete provisions contained in its employment contracts are in the news again, with a pair of ex-employees filing a class action against the brewer in Massachusetts on 1 December. The suit alleges that Boston Beer improperly enforced noncompete agreements against employees across 39 states, but paid only USD 3,000 instead of the required garden leave payments which is equal to approximately six months of the employee’s highest salary over the preceding two years, the website Law360 reports.
