Contract is Expired but Working at Will - Is Non Compete Still Valid?

We are considering hiring an employee who currently works for a competitor. He had a two year employment contract which was not renewed and he is now employed at will. Would his non-compete still be in force because he is still employed? Any danger to my organization from hiring him now that we are aware of this agreement?

Whether the restrictions on working for an employer remain in force now that the two year contract expired depends on the language of the contract. I recommend that you review it with an employment lawyer familiar with non-competition agreements.
