Properly prepared and enforceable Employment Contracts are, therefore, essential for Business Protection. When employees have access to important confidential information or establishing and maintaining client relationships, businesses can suffer substantial losses if the employee leaves and uses the information or relationships to benefit themselves or another employer. Ambiguous confidentiality clauses and unreasonable restraint clauses are, however, unenforceable or problematic at best.
