Texas Tech Firm Sues Remote Employee for Alleged Concurrent Employment
A technology company headquartered in Texas has filed suit against a Massachusetts man who was hired to work remotely as an account executive in 2024. The core allegation is that the employee secretly continued working for his previous employer, a direct competitor, during his tenure with the Texas firm.
The lawsuit, filed on March 12, 2025, claims breach of contract, arguing that the employee violated the terms of his employment agreement by engaging in concurrent employment. Additionally, the suit alleges a violation of the non-compete agreement signed by the employee.
Details of the lawsuit, including the specific companies involved and the timeframe of the alleged concurrent employment, are expected to be released as the case proceeds. Legal experts have noted that the rise of remote work has complicated the enforcement of non-compete clauses, but the central issue in this particular case will likely focus on whether the employee fulfilled his contractual obligations to the Texas-based company.
