The purpose of a non-solicitation clause is to protect the business from competitors, customers or other parties who host essential employees or contractors. This can fundamentally harm the company if it loses its talent. You should never sign anything your employer gives you lightly.
Some agreements are like End User License Agreements (EULAs), and the courts don`t expect you to read them in their entirety. Employer contracts are a different story, and it doesn`t matter how long they last. You can also find non-solicitation agreements buried in employee manuals, stock option and premium allocations, pension plans and elsewhere. If you sign your stack of new hiring documents when you start a new job, a non-solicitation agreement could be one of them. Essentially, a non-solicitation agreement is used to protect a company`s revenue and, in particular, to prevent employees from recruiting customers or employees of their former employer. If an employee is asked to enter into a non-solicitation agreement, the employee should determine whether the agreement is appropriate. Such a decision may not be self-evident, where a competent lawyer can be of great help. An employee who is asked to enter into an inappropriate non-solicitation agreement may be able to negotiate more reasonable terms of the agreement. In the example above, the agreement is used to prevent former employees from recruiting customers and deducting them from the company the employee previously worked for. However, if Julie signed a non-solicitation clause as part of her employment contract, it would prevent her from recruiting Amy and bringing her into the new company. If Julie chose to do so anyway, the company could take legal action against her. The company wants to protect her interests and every time and the money invested in Amy`s education.
A non-compete obligation and a non-solicitation are often considered the same thing. Solicitation prohibitions in employment contracts are sometimes referred to as “non-compete obligations”. However, there are indeed clear differences between a non-compete obligation and a non-solicitation clause. A non-compete obligation is used to prevent a former employee from working for another company in the same industry that would be a competitor of the employee`s previous employer, while a non-solicitation prohibition is used to prevent the former employee from recruiting customers or employees of a former employer. Prohibition of poaching. During the Term and for one (1) year thereafter, the Contractor may not encourage or solicit any employee, independent contractor, vendor or customer of ViSalus to leave or terminate their relationship with ViSalus for any reason. If an employee or other person involved in a company signs a non-solicitation agreement and violates its terms, the company may take legal action against that person. This does not mean that any difficulty imposed on a former employee by a non-solicitation agreement is inappropriate or would render the restrictive agreement unenforceable. The courts have upheld the validity of solicitation bans that result in a former employee moving to another city or state to work in the same field and do not violate the agreement. However, each case revolves around the specific circumstances that exist in this situation. Solicitation prohibitions may also extend to the recruitment of other employees.
Like good customers, good employees are not always easy to find, and an employer may have invested a lot of time and money in finding and training its employees. Therefore, it is not uncommon or inappropriate for the employer to want to protect this investment by prohibiting former employees from taking other workers with them when they leave. For example, if Mary worked for Company A and left to start her own business, she might want to take Lisa with her, a skilled and knowledgeable employee mary likely gets along with and who she thinks would be a good addition to her team. If Mary signed a non-solicitation agreement when she started working for Company A, she wouldn`t be able to take Lisa with her without the possibility of a lawsuit from the company. It is in Company A`s interest to ensure that Lisa`s knowledge and skills remain within the company. Employees and employers have entered into an employment relationship that requires the following conditions for mutual protection and satisfaction of both parties. The biggest legal problem with solicitation bans is the unofficial right to work. Like the right to privacy, it is not officially part of the Bill of Rights. The fact is that everyone has the right to work in a chosen profession. No qualifications or jobs available is one thing, but an employer cannot force anyone to work for them or be unemployed. Good customers, customers, patients, etc.
are not easy to find and the employers who have them want to keep them. Solicitation prohibitions are added to employment contracts to protect an employer from harm caused by a former employee who brings those customers or employees to a competitor. It is increasingly common for employees to leave their workplace to start their own business. A new business won`t survive long without customers. Customers with whom the former employee has an existing relationship are the easiest to attract customers for the new company, which otherwise has no history or reputation in the industry. The easiest way to prevent this poaching of customers is to enter into a restrictive agreement that limits a former employee`s ability to contact those customers. The court refused to comply with the clause because it covered all customers and all aspects of Phoenix`s business. Therefore, the clause was considered too broad to be reasonable and could not be applied.
