Hi everyone, I recently got my Michigan Insurance producer license with lines of Health, accident and life.
I was in training very briefly as an independent contractor with a health insurance broker who sells to clients Nationwide. We were paid a weekly base salary as well as comissions on our sales. I ended up leaving because they were requiring everyone to be at work up to 80 hours a week over the next few months for open enrollment.
Basically, when I started there I signed a non Compete Agreement that's valid for two years. And I have two questions.
1. Is this enforceable so that I couldn't go to any insurance company now, OR is it only if I went to another broker who sells all insurance as opposed to a Captive agency.
2. Could they even legally require me to be there 80 hours, and pay me a base salary if I was an independent contractor.
I appreciate any advice you can give me, because I am new.
