It is a familiar scene to many employers. After searching for the right individual to fill an important position, a promising candidate emerges. The new employee will have top-level access to confidential information and customers, and their offer letter anticipates that the employee will sign restrictive covenants including noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements as a condition of employment. Current operations are a bit chaotic—including some remote work—so the agreement isn't provided prior to the first day of employment. The employee knows they will have to sign eventually, but the employer doesn't press the issue and allows time for the new employee to review the terms. Is this a valid and enforceable restrictive covenant agreement?  According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's June 16, decision in Rullex v. Tel-Stream, the answer is no.
