Many employees are not taking note of the importance and possible repercussions for breach of post-termination restrictions contained within their compromise agreements and contracts of employment, particularly for non-competition.
From our vast experience as employment lawyers we have seen situations where employees taking redundancy have already obtained a new position with a new employer, but have not given any thought as to whether this would be a breach of their compromise agreement or employment contract.
We would always recommend that employees consider such provisions in detail and obtain legal advice at the earliest opportunity to avoid being in breach.
If you require further information about UK employment law or seek clarification with regards to post-termination provisions contained in your employment contract or compromise agreement, please contact us at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com or visit one of the following pages on employment law:
