The End Of Post-Termination Non-Compete Clauses?

Recently, the Ministry of Labour and Employment notified Infosys that a joint conversation on the implementation of the non-compete provision prohibiting employees from joining a competing technology business within six months of leaving Infosys has been scheduled. These remarks follow a petition to the labour ministry by a Pune-based labour organisation demanding the elimination of Infosys' non-compete provision. According to the provision, workers are prohibited from directly joining identified rivals or any of Infosys' clients for six months after leaving their positions.

What is a non-compete clause?

A non-compete provision is a contract in which an employee agrees not to compete with his or her employer in any way once the work term ends.

This also applies to agreements between independent parties
