Conflict of Interest
1 year ago
Recently, I have joined a remote company and was asked to sign a contract which included a field marked as Conflict of Interest policy. Currently I am having my own business running from past 10 years. The field of my business is different from current remote company's field. So, this I guess, wouldn't conflict with remote company's interest. But, I am working for a social cause which conflict remote company's interest. They suggested me not to work in this social cause as it would conflict with company's interest. In my social cause, I intended to provide my services free but in future it might generate a revenue. The work I am doing for social cause is not complete yet It is in progress. Can't I complete it as I have joined the company and signed their agreement?
Should I stop working for social cause because of conflict of interest?
The clauses of the company are very clear and even urged you to choose one which is very fair on their part.
It depends on you to choose that you want to work for a social cause that will reap revenue in future or you want to work for the company.
Choose what satisfies you.
Hope it helps
