Document Summary
Payroll advance inc. (appellant), a short-term loan issuing company, tried to appeal the trial court ruling in favor of barbara yates (respondent) for breach of employment contract after. 32 days after she was terminated from working for appellant. Her employment contract states that she may not be employed by any competing business within 50 miles radius of any establishment of the appellant for 2 years post termination and for the use client information at her new firm. However, practically businesses cannot train competitive employees without fearing the employee will use resources provided by the business against the business. Therefore, missouri law will enforce non-compete agreements if they are reasonable. Since the appellant has many firms within missouri and speculates a. 50 mile radius upon which the respondent cannot work, the non-compete contract was deemed unreasonable, and therefore unlawful and not enforceable. Tammey anderson (appellant) joined a fitness club owned and operated by mcoskar.
