Why you should read the small print and know what a restraint of trade clause can mean for future work
The high unemployment rate has pushed many job seekers to accept any form of employment. They rarely read the fine print contained in modern employment contracts.
Human resources trend reports indicate that 72% of South Africans leave one job to go to another job where they will perform the same or similar duties or functions. The devastation sets in when your previous employer approaches the courts to interdict your new employment on the basis of a restraint of trade agreement. At that point the new employer could be compelled to terminate the employment and/or end any business arrangement.
“From March 2020 till the next foreseeable future the economic world has been hard hit by the advent of Covid-19. Many people lost their jobs and unemployment has risen to uncontrollable levels, leaving families destitute ... Finding a job at this time is notoriously difficult. In the circumstances, the restraint should be rejected.”
