The Non-compete Agreement is a contract to limit certains freedom of the employees. This agreement provides for the acceptance by the employee of the conditions set by his employer in which he undertakes not to be a direct competitor or to work for a competitor in the form and nature of the employment he will perform during his employment contract.
Under Indian law, the contract may provide for non-solicitation of information by the employee to a competitor or on its behalf during the period of the employment contract, and even beyond in certain cases. The non-competition clause was designed to avoid this type of situation and to anticipate hiring from a competitor. However, in order to be valid, the Non-competition Agreement must comply with the conditions laid down by case law, i.e. by decisions rendered by the Indian courts.
In today’s highly competitive world, it is critical that every employer seek to take preventive or protective measures against the threat. Nevertheless, the major competitive risk usually comes from the employees.
