Virginia enforces non-compete agreements under common law and enacted significant restrictions in 2020 under Va. Code §40.1-28.7:8, which prohibits non-competes for 'low-wage employees' — defined as employees whose average weekly earnings are less than the average weekly wage of the Commonwealth. For eligible employees above this threshold, Virginia courts apply a reasonableness test evaluating whether the restriction protects a legitimate business interest and is no broader than necessary.
Whether you manage a Northern Virginia cybersecurity firm restricting departing analysts, a Richmond financial services company protecting client relationships, or a Virginia Beach defense contractor preventing engineers from joining competitors, Virginia law requires compliance with the low-wage employee ban and common law reasonableness standards. Virginia courts analyze the function served by the restriction, the employee's role, the geographic scope, and the duration when evaluating enforceability.
SignAI generates your Virginia non-compete with the right legal language automatically — including compliance with Va. Code §40.1-28.7:8 low-wage employee restrictions, proper function analysis under Virginia common law, reasonable durational and geographic limits, and protectable interests aligned with the Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Va. Code §59.1-336 et seq.).

FAQ
Yes, for employees above the income threshold. Virginia prohibits non-competes for 'low-wage employees' earning below the average weekly wage of the Commonwealth under Va. Code §40.1-28.7:8. For eligible employees, Virginia enforces non-competes under common law when they protect a legitimate interest and are reasonable in scope.
Virginia prohibits non-competes for employees whose average weekly earnings are less than the average weekly wage of the Commonwealth (approximately $1,330/week or $69,000/year as of recent data). Workers below this threshold cannot be bound by non-competes. Violations can result in civil penalties.
Virginia has no statutory maximum. Courts evaluate reasonableness based on the specific circumstances and the function of the restriction. Employment non-competes of one to two years are commonly upheld. The duration must be proportional to the protectable interest.
Virginia courts have applied the blue-pencil doctrine to reform overbroad restrictions in some cases, narrowing the scope to make the agreement enforceable. However, this discretion is not unlimited — courts may void agreements that are fundamentally overbroad or drafted in bad faith.
Under Va. Code §40.1-28.7:8, employers who enter into non-competes with low-wage employees may face civil penalties. The statute creates a private right of action allowing affected employees to recover damages, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees.
