[Closed] An employment question Re: Preventing you from changing jobs locally

spooky_b329 · 2013-11-26T20:34:20Z

An employer states in their T&C's that you cannot work for a competitor within a certain radius of your current employment. Is this fair/reasonable? The distance is circa 40 miles! The person who is a Vet was contractually obliged to live locally to her new job and has bought a house there due to an on-call element. Now the employer is saying she can't move jobs to a competitor. Have they got a leg to stand on apart from perhaps with-holding a reference?

what do you mean Al, in my post the bits in bold are about preventing employees from getting a job in the same industry, this was my point? How have a shifted the goalposts? I never said other RC's were uncommon. I think you are making prejudgements against what I was saying
