It does depend upon the state where you worked, where your employer was located and what law the non-compete says is to be applied. Some states are more favorable to non-competes than others.

Can you fire someone on the spot for not signing a noncompete?

If an employer utilizes a non-compete clause, most employers will not even offer employment if a non-compete clause is not signed beforehand. However, if the employer wants to establish a non-compete clause with current employees after the fact, then it depends on what state you live in and what your employment contract contains. For instance, in an employment-at-will state, an employer can terminate your employment for no reason at all (except if protected under Federal laws such as discriminatory practices or retaliation to whistleblowing); in this case, yes, your employment could be terminated if you don't sign. If you are in a right-to-employment state or operate under an employment contract, then review your contract to determine if your employer can terminate employment if you do not sign.

Is a noncompete clause binding if the company lays you off?

Under New York law, the general rule is that a non-compete clause will not be binding if the employer fires you. As with most things, though, there are exceptions to the general rule. The most significant exception to be aware of is if the employer offers you severance benefits in exchange for signing the non-compete. Under those circumstances, the non-compete will continue to be binding as long as you are receiving the severance benefits. The contract you voluntarily signed will specify how layoff affects your noncompete restrictions.

What is a non guaranteed contract?

A non-guaranteed contract is an agreement in professional sports or employment that does not ensure the athlete or employee will receive the full salary if they are released or cut from the team or organization. In such contracts, the team can terminate the agreement without facing significant financial penalties. Typically, players on non-guaranteed contracts must compete for a roster spot, and their earnings may depend on their performance and ability to secure a position. This type of contract provides teams with flexibility in managing their payroll and roster.
