Waiving your right to trial by jury seems excessive to me.

Subject: [THIN] OT Non-Compete Agreement

 

THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND EMPLOYEE AGREES TO
PAY [company name deleted] LEGAL EXPENSES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE
EMPLOYEE'S VIOLATION OR THREATENED VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

I have been out of the public sector job market for a while and could
use a reality check. I am willing to agree to  the employer's need for
protection from competition from former employees. However the clause
quoted above seems a bit excessive. 

 

I'm not looking for legal advice, just some comments on whether this is
a standard contract clause/practice.

Thanks.
