Non compete clauses
5 years ago
Hi,
Recently I have resigned from a company and moved to same line of business company due to my area of expertise. However, I have been pressurised from my previous company to leave my current company due to non compete signed with my previous company on a 100 rupee stamp paper and this paper says that I can't join the same domain company for the next two years, though I had a very genuine conversation with them and said that I won't follow any unethical practices. Still they are forcing me legally to leave my current company.
Now, I want to know if I can continue with my current employer with out doing any unethical work. Also, I have already received my complete release documents from my previous organization.
Thanks in advance.
Since you have already resigned and received release documents from previous Employer Company then there is no problem in working for another new company.
But, your Contract with previous company has to be looked in to minutely.
So, best option for you would be to be in touch with an Advocate whom you know or get one through Vidhikarya.com. Your’s is not the first case in India. There might be other cases as well in your previous company
