Oregon: Enforcing Noncompetition Agreements Requires New Minimum Salary
Noncompetition agreements are generally enforceable in Oregon if:
The employee receives written notice that the noncompetition agreement is a condition of employment at least two weeks before employment starts OR the employee enters into the agreement upon a bona fide advancement;
The employee is a salaried exempt employee with an annual income higher than a minimum amount that is adjusted annually for inflation;
The employer has a protectable interest; and
The employer provides a signed, written copy of the noncompetition agreement within 30 days after the employee’s termination.

For the second bullet point above, according to the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries, in 2025, noncompetition agreements may be enforceable against employees who receive an annual gross income greater than $116,427.
