Assuming they didn't hide the noncompete clause from the employee, and assuming there's not a binding minimum wage in effect, the necessary compensation is already going to be included. Unless you believe the employee is engaging in charity work on the behalf of the employer!

What's the point of a law requiring it? Unless it's an addition to a minimum wage law and only in effect for those being paid the minimum wage...

In this case, compensation is not a wage, it is to be paid after the employee has left the company but is still bound by the noncompete.

Also the employer may have the option of not activating the noncompete clause when the employee leaves the company, meaning the employee is free and no compensation is due.
