Employment Clause Clarity Required Employment Clause Clarity Required

3 years ago

My employer has sent me a revised contract with the following clause "The Employee shall not, for two (2) years after Employment, without the prior consent in writing of the Employer, engage or be concerned or undertake or be interested in whether directly or indirectly involved in any business or occupation which is in competition with the Employer (or any firm, company, corporation or other organization which is directly or indirectly controlled by the Employer or which is common control with the Employer."
Can anybody explain me the meaning of this clause and how it will affect me when I leave the company.

A.Hi,
By adding this clause, your employer is forbidding you to work with any company for 2 years which poses competition to your present company.
This is to bind you to not provide services as an employee to any competitor company.

A.It is a clause by which you are forbidden to enter into a business/employment/occupation/contract where you will be working as a competitor to your current employer for a period of 2 years after you cease to be a employee with your current employer unless you are permitted by your current employer in writing.
It will restrict your choice of job when you leave the company for a limited period of two years after leaving.
