Why is it good to have a non-competition clause?
-
Non-competition clause for employees
An employee may not engage in competitive activities during employment without consent. After termination, a non-competition clause can be negotiated for a maximum of 1 year, but only for key workers and with compensation.
-
Non-ompetition clause for self-employed persons
The contractor may undertake not to engage in competitive activities during or after the collaboration. The clause can last up to 5 years, does not have to be for a fee and may include a contractual penalty. It should be balanced.
-
Protection of internal information
A non-competition clause (in combination with an NDA) sets up contractual protection for trade secrets, unique know-how and sensitive information that could jeopardize your market position.
What does the non-competition clause include?
The co-worker agrees not to engage in activities that compete with your business for the duration of the clause.
Key employees are gold for any company. We can therefore add a no-poaching clause to prevent deliberate poaching of employees between companies. However, we always proceed to make sure that you do not violate competition protection rules.
A penalty can be negotiated against contractors for violating a non-competition clause or attempting to overcharge employees, which motivates greater compliance with agreements. In relation to employees, a contractual penalty can only be negotiated for breach of the non-compete clause.
