Utah enacted the Post-Employment Restrictions Act (Utah Code §34-51-101 et seq.) in 2016, which limits non-compete agreements to a maximum duration of one year. The law applies to non-compete agreements entered into on or after May 10, 2016. Beyond the one-year cap, Utah follows common law reasonableness principles — the restriction must protect a legitimate business interest, be reasonable in geographic scope, and not impose undue hardship.
Whether you manage a Salt Lake City tech company restricting departing engineers, a Provo software firm protecting proprietary code, or a Park City hospitality company preventing management departures, Utah's one-year maximum applies. The statute does not specify additional procedural requirements like advance notice or income thresholds, making Utah's framework simpler than states like Massachusetts or Illinois. However, the agreement must still satisfy common law consideration and reasonableness requirements.
SignAI generates your Utah non-compete with the right legal language automatically — including compliance with the one-year maximum under Utah Code §34-51-201, reasonable geographic restrictions, properly defined protectable interests under the Utah Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Utah Code §13-24-1 et seq.), and appropriate consideration provisions.

FAQ
Yes. Utah enforces non-compete agreements under the Post-Employment Restrictions Act (Utah Code §34-51-101 et seq.) and common law. The statute limits non-competes to a maximum of one year for agreements entered into after May 10, 2016. Beyond the durational cap, restrictions must meet common law reasonableness standards.
The statutory maximum is one year under Utah Code §34-51-201 for agreements entered into after May 10, 2016. This is a hard cap — any employment non-compete exceeding one year is void to the extent it exceeds the maximum. Business sale non-competes may have different standards.
For new hires, the employment itself constitutes consideration. For existing employees, Utah courts evaluate whether additional consideration was provided — such as a raise, bonus, or promotion. The adequacy of consideration follows general contract law principles.
Utah courts have discretion to reform overbroad restrictions under common law principles. The Post-Employment Restrictions Act itself enforces the one-year cap by voiding any excess duration. For other elements like geography and scope, courts evaluate reasonableness on a case-by-case basis.
The Post-Employment Restrictions Act primarily targets non-compete agreements that restrict competitive employment. Non-solicitation agreements — which restrict soliciting specific clients or employees but do not broadly prevent competitive employment — may have different treatment. However, overly broad non-solicitation agreements that function as de facto non-competes could fall under the statute.
