It is important for employers to protect the business. Restrictions in employment contracts prevent employees joining a competitor for a period of time, often up to 6 or 12 months, and prevent the solicitation of clients. It is also possible to prevent employees from having any business dealings with clients. That said, to have the protection, this must be written into the employment contracts, and it is vital the words used to describe the restrictions fits with the legal requirements, as this can be pivotal to the employer’s ability to enforce the restrictions.
