Time period to challenge new employment

Is there a time period (ie. 30 days) that my former employer has to challenge my employment at a competing company once I'm hired or can they take action anytime during the 2 year period, even if I have been working at the new company for awhile?

During the NC period

Mr. Trabilsy:
Two years is probably too long to be enforceable anyway; courts don't like non compete agreements ("NC"), and look for ways to invalidate them. But no, the employer doesn't waive the right to sue under the agreement if it doesn't sue within 30 days.

If you would like me to review the NC and give you more specific advice, you can email me the NC for evaluation. I bill at $300/hour and require a 2 hour retainer in advance.

Good luck!
