They don’t actually prevent you from working. They’ll usually have to declare before you leave if they enforce the non compete or not, and if so
they will pay 50% whatever you do, for the length of the clause.
What the GP was expliciting is that since paying 50% for an employee with low risk is absurd, a lot of companies won’t enforce the non compete.
- saagarjha 7y agoMy point is that if they do choose the noncompete for whatever reason, I’m still losing.
- hrktb 7y agoYou end up losing if it’s so hard finding a job that’s out of the non-compte that you end up unemployed for the length of the agreement. In that case the only recourse would be to try sue/re-negociate under the angle that the non-compete is unfair (too low pay or too broad scope). Otherwise, if you find another job in another field, you’d get the full job salary + the 50% from the non-compete. That’s usually fair enough.
