From our vast experience of advising on UK employment law, including redundancies, we have seen that a number of employees are forgetting that even if their contracts of employment are terminated most employment contracts have post-termination restrictions in relation to confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation. Post-termination restrictions on confidentiality usually last indefinitely, whilst non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions can last anywhere from to 6 – 12 months onwards; 1 year is usually enforceable by an employer.
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:
