How employers utilize restrictive covenants


Discuss below in a 100 words:

A number of employers will utilize restrictive covenants such as having employees sign confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements upon hire. When the employee leaves, the employer will enforce the agreement against the employee. Let us assume an employer had an employee sign a non-competition agreement that restricted the employee from working for a competing employer within a 30 mile radius of where the employee last worked for the employer and for duration of two years. If this restrictive covenant essentially means the employee would need to relocate or commute to work over one hour one-way every day to get to an employer that is far enough away not to violate the covenant, would you deem it to be too restrictive? Why, or why not?
