No employee non-compete? I'm surprised.

Non-compete is illegal in California.

It's a relevant distinction. You're still allowed to put non-compete clauses into your contracts, even though they don't do anything. Many companies put such clauses in their contracts, either because they have a nation-wide template, or because the threat of litigation is valuable to them.
