In Socko v. Mid-Atlantic, 2014 Pa. Super. LEXIS 702 (May 13, 2014), Mid-Atlantic, which is in the business of basement waterproofing services, originally hired Socko as a salesman in March 2007, at which time he signed an employment contract containing a two-year covenant not to compete. Socko resigned in February 2009, but was rehired in June 2009, at which time he signed a new employment agreement containing another two-year covenant not to compete. While still employed by Mid-Atlantic as an at-will employee, on December 28, 2010, Socko signed a third employment contract (hereinafter, "the Non-Competition Agreement") containing a covenant not to compete with Mid-Atlantic for two years after the termination of his employment in several states in which Mid-Atlantic does business. The Non-Competition Agreement expressly provides for the application of Pennsylvania law.
