Hold the Line! - Restraints & Employment Contracts
Workplace Law's Managing Director, Athena Koelmeyer, will guide you through the legal minefield of post-employment restraints.
Imagine yourself in one of the following situations:
Your Business Account Manager has resigned to join your number one competitor. Her employment contract is five years old and doesn’t have any restraints. What can you do to protect your customer base?
You have just recruited a new employee. During the interview he denied having any restraints and said he had $2,000,000 worth of customers to bring to your business – a key factor in you selecting him for the role. During his second week with your business you receive a letter from his former employer advising you that he has a 12-month restraint in relation to working for a direct competitor. How do you respond to them and what do you do with your new recruit?
Workplace Law's Managing Director, Athena Koelmeyer, will guide you through the legal minefield of post-employment restraints in our webinar on Thursday, 28 September 2023 at 11.00 am (AEST).

It is not common for employment contracts to contain restraint of trade clauses which seek to prevent departing employees from joining competitors or using or disclosing their former employer’s confidential information.
In the post COVID-19 environment, one of the most common issues faced by employers is facilitating the return of employees to the office or normal workplace. In particular, many employers have been required to deal with increased reluctance by employees to return to the workplace following lengthy periods of working from home.
When it comes to engaging new employees or promoting existing employees, it is crucial that employers prepare and review contracts of employment to ensure that they accurately reflect the terms which will govern an employee’s employment.
Many employees are excited about upcoming Christmas parties and end of year functions. However, increasingly complex employment laws and the rise in work-related complaints are causing employers to carefully think about hosting such events.
In the wake of challenging economic circumstances and increasing episodes of poor employee behaviour, employers may be required to make difficult, but necessary, decisions in relation to its workforce.
