In our June 23, 2015 Tip Tuesday post on our social media pages, we suggested that companies that routinely hire "professional employees" should always ask new employees to acknowledge in writing that they are not subject to any agreements that would interfere with their ability to perform their job, such as non-competition or non-solicitation agreements.  While we continue to maintain this is still a good practice generally, as of July 1, it will not be necessary when the prospective employee(s) is a technology worker.

We are constantly approached by individuals (as well as newly formed businesses) that want to get into federal contracting but don't know where to start and/or aren't necessarily sure how to go about doing so.  For a variety of reasons, Federal contracting may not be appropriate for every business and the decision to pursue federal contracts should be well-thought out.  In this series, we will provide a variety of practical, low-cost tips that we hope will be useful to those considering entering the federal marketplace.
