Non-Competition Clauses and Employment Contracts
Non-Competition Clauses and Employment Contracts
Non-competition clauses in an employment contract are common depending on the profession and or industry.
Non-competition clauses are also referred to as restrictive covenants. Here are some additional examples:
- Non-disclosure clause
- Non-competition clause
- Non-solicitation clause
Such clauses are designed to restrict an employees` ability to engage in certain activities.
A non-disclosure clause will prohibit an employee from disclosing any confidential information and or business information.
A non-competition clause will prohibit an employee from competing with their current and or former employer. A non-competition clause might go even further then that by forbidding an outgoing employee from taking a job with the employer`s competitor.
Non-solicitation clauses will prohibit an employee from trying to solicit clients or third parties associated with your former employer.
