It doesn’t sound like that would fall under the non-compete clause.

In agreement with poster Mich. These non competes are very hard to enforce and based on the little that you wrote it sounds as if there may be some illegalities here. It is for this reason why non competes are so hard to enforce. Most are just ridiculous and the courts have ruled as such. Especially in California. I wouldn’t worry about it, but if I were you I would NOT tell anyone about the second job. Keep it to yourself and maybe share with your family. It’s no one’s business where you are working.

That is a very sticky situation and I would be very careful. Technically when you sign a non-compete offer you are agreeing to not work for any company that is associated with that particular industry. Although you are working for the temp agency and you are technically an employee of the temp agency until the other company wants to convert you to a regular full-time employee, however at that time they may ask you whether you have a non-compete clause and you will have to tell them.

it is probably not an issue for you

1. non-compete policies that are not part of an actual contract are next to impossible to enforce.

2. the policy must be stated but generally would only be a consideration for corporate positions and upper management, if then.

3. speak with HR or your supervisor to understand the employers position and how it relates to you.
