Offer letters bury the parts that matter: a two-year non-compete, a bonus you repay if you leave, an arbitration clause, 'all your ideas belong to us'. Florida enforces non-competes more than most states — but only within limits. Paste the document. You get each clause explained, what's enforceable here, the questions to ask, and a counter-letter that asks for changes without souring the offer.
Free decode
Everything — pay, start date, the restrictive covenants, the signature block. Tell us the job and what you earn now.
Why this exists
A 75-mile, two-year ban on your own trade can be real in Florida — unless it's broader than the law allows. Knowing where the line is turns a take-it-or-leave-it into a negotiation.
How it works
Offer, non-compete, or both. Say the job, the pay, and where you're coming from.
Standard / negotiable / red flag, with what 542.335 and the CHOICE Act actually allow on time, geography and scope.
Polite, specific asks — narrower radius, shorter term, bonus repayment pro-rated, arbitration carve-outs — that keep the offer warm.
Plans
For one candidate. Unions, staffing agencies and career centres license it.
Your clause-by-clause counter-letter, a negotiation script for the call, a 'what I'm agreeing to' summary sheet, and the questions to ask HR before signing.
Branded decoder for members, candidates or students.
All prices in USD, handled by Stripe. The free decode never goes behind a paywall.
Common questions
You paste your offer letter, your non-compete, or both, and it explains each clause — pay, at-will status, bonus clawbacks, arbitration, IP assignment, non-compete and non-solicit — in plain words. It also tells you what Florida law (§542.335 and the 2025 CHOICE Act) allows an employer to enforce and for how long, gives you questions to ask before signing, and drafts a polite counter-letter. It is not legal advice.
Yes — the tool describes itself as a 'free decode.' The material provided doesn't say whether the text you paste is stored, so that isn't something this description can confirm one way or the other; if that matters to you, check the site's own privacy terms before pasting anything sensitive.
No. It explains what Florida Statutes §542.335 and the 2025 CHOICE Act generally allow, but enforceability depends on facts a court would weigh, and this tool cannot predict how a court would rule. It's informational only, not legal advice.
It's the Florida CHOICE Act of 2025, referenced alongside §542.335 as one of the sources this tool uses. According to the material, it changed the non-compete rules specifically for higher earners.
Yes. The tool itself says that before signing a non-compete that could keep you out of your trade, a one-hour consultation with a Florida employment attorney is 'cheap insurance.' This decoder explains the law in plain words, but it isn't legal advice and doesn't replace a professional review.
Usted pega su carta de oferta, su acuerdo de no competencia, o ambos, y la herramienta le explica cada cláusula —el pago, el estatus de empleo a voluntad, la devolución de bonos, el arbitraje, la cesión de propiedad intelectual, la no competencia y la no solicitación— en palabras sencillas. También le indica qué permite la ley de Florida (§542.335 y la Ley CHOICE de 2025) que un empleador exija, y por cuánto tiempo, le da preguntas para hacer antes de firmar y redacta una contracarta cortés. Esto no es asesoría legal.
Sí — la herramienta se describe a sí misma como una 'decodificación gratuita.' El material proporcionado no indica si el texto que usted pega se guarda o no, así que esta descripción no puede confirmarlo; si eso le preocupa, revise la política de privacidad del sitio antes de pegar información sensible.
No. Explica lo que generalmente permiten el Estatuto de Florida §542.335 y la Ley CHOICE de 2025, pero la validez depende de hechos que un tribunal evaluaría, y esta herramienta no puede predecir cómo fallaría un tribunal. Es solo informativa, no es asesoría legal.
Es la Ley CHOICE de Florida de 2025, mencionada junto con el §542.335 como una de las fuentes que usa esta herramienta. Según el material, esta ley cambió las reglas de no competencia específicamente para las personas con ingresos más altos.
Sí. La propia herramienta indica que, antes de firmar un acuerdo de no competencia que pudiera impedirle ejercer su oficio, una consulta de una hora con un abogado laboral de Florida es 'un seguro barato.' Este decodificador explica la ley en palabras sencillas, pero no es asesoría legal ni sustituye una revisión profesional.
