What are restrictive covenants in employment context and why are they important?
A restrictive covenant in employment is a clause within an employment contract (or a separate agreement) that limits what an employee can do while employed and after leaving his/her job. They are important and can be useful because they help prevent employees from misusing your confidential proprietary information, poaching clients, colleagues or suppliers from their previously workplace when they start a new job.
