What is the difference between a non-solicitation and an anti-raiding agreement?

Non-solicitation and anti-raiding agreements are two different types of agreements that are used to protect employers in Michigan. A non-solicitation agreement is when an employee agrees not to solicit certain people or information from a former employer or competitor. This could include not attempting to recruit or hire employees from the company, not soliciting customers, or not using confidential knowledge for the former employer’s benefit. An anti-raiding agreement is an agreement between two employers that prevents one employer from attempting to recruit away the other employer’s employees. This generally includes a non-compete clause, which is an agreement to not recruit the other employer’s employees for a certain period of time. In Michigan, non-solicitation and anti-raiding agreements are enforceable, so long as they are reasonable and do not unfairly restrict employees’ rights to work. These agreements are generally used to protect employers’ interests during hiring and after an employee has departed.
