I recently notified an Illinois company that I will not be starting with them. Upon notification, company responded asking that I compensate them for breach of contract and that I am bound by a 2 year non-compete.
I believe they are simply upset about my decesion and reacting foolishly. Anyone have similar expereinces.?
 
Did you sign an employment contract when you accepted the job offer? If so, did it bind you to work for them for a specific length of time?
 
I did sign a contract that was to begin on Jan 17, 2005. Contract would renew at the end of 1 year of employment.
 
I think they're upset about your decision and possibly acting foolishly too but that doesn't mean they don't have a bonafide cause of action against you. That depends precisely on what the contract you signed states. You need to show the document to a qualified attorney asap and find out if you have anything to worry about.
