So how does this work for larger companies with multiple offices? Some cases I'm curious about (and have always been for laws like this):

My company's headquarters are registered in Texas, but we have an office in CA that is doing hiring for that office.

Same as above, but hiring someone residing in CA to move to Texas.

Same as above, but hiring someone residing in CA to remote work (in CA or wherever they please).

Then, all three cases, but with a company headquartered Int'l.



I've been curious about some of these things too. My employer is HQ'd in CA, which forbids non-compete clauses in contracts, but I work out of the WA office, where non-compete clauses are ok, and my contract has one. I don't know of any former employees sued so I'm not really concerned about it but I always wonder if it would hold up in court...


If you have a California office, you have to be incorporated in California, which means you're a California employer.


Ok cool, that makes sense. In that case, does CA law apply when you do a hire for your Texas office? Being both a Texan and California employer?


State laws apply to that state.
