Business Law- Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants in Employment Agreements
The Law Firm of Pozzuolo Rodden, P.C., Philadelphia Business LawLawyers, announces the release of the article Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants in Employment Agreements.
Restrictive covenants in employment contracts are vital tools that enable employers to protect their trade secrets and customer base after an employee has been terminated or resigns. A restrictive covenant is a section contained in an employment agreement in which the employee agrees to refrain from doing a particular activity. In the employment setting this is common when an employee enters into a non-compete or non-disclosure agreement with his or her employer. A non-compete clause restricts an employee from accepting subsequent employment with a competitor of his employer, while a non-disclosure clause requires an employee to refrain from disclosing the trade secrets and confidential information of its employer after termination. However, restrictive covenants in employment agreements must be carefully drafted and narrowly tailored to be enforced by courts.
