If I’m not mistaken Belgium had the approach that non competes are valid. However, if the employee cannot find anything else the company has to pay that person for the duration of the non compete.

You’re talking about companies with offices in the US. I’m talking about foreign countries. E.g. Postnl (company without offices in the US).

How would a foreign country collect this in behalf of the US? No system has been setup for this by the US.

EU, UK and others have systems in place to make this possible. The US hasn’t.

In the EU similar stuff is promoted by companies wanting to profit from supplying the various required software.

Pretty sure Collabora (company) offers such services.

You don’t know the Ape? It’s really everywhere in Europe.

I haven’t seen those in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany except maybe once in 5 years. Further, it’s seems not comparable. In Netherlands it likely wouldn’t be considered a car. It likely would fall under the max 45 kmh regulations.
