This seems like the correct and fair implementation of non-competes broadly. If companies want leavers out of the market, they should be required to pay garden leave. People have to make a living, and it’s unreasonable to expect them to change geographies and/or professions to do so.

Firms have always payed garden leave tho

yeah but it used mixed.

E.g. I had 3m garden leave (paid, no bonus) and 3m non-compete (unpaid).
