Does a pay cut nullify a non-compete clause?
If you are a year-to-year contract employee with a non-compete clause in your contract, will that non-compete hold up if the employer offers you less in the next contract? Does a pay cut nullify a non-compete clause?

You should try to negotiate a new contract without a non-compete clause. If there is any question about the applicability of the non-compete agreement in the original contract, the new contract should clarify that the non-compete clause is extinguished.
As a general rule, a party's material breach of a contract may excuse the non-breaching party from the obligations imposed by the contract.
