I doubt if it will hold if your appointment was terminated and not that you resigned

Yeah, but if the reason for your termination is genuinely your own negligence to duty or company's policy then the pact will still stand.

Had job offer... But there's a part of contract that's making me so scared. It says employee should not join any other company doing similar things or selling similar products for the period of one year, after terminating his/her appointment. Is this not a modern form of slavery?

In IT- silicon valley. This is almost like a norm.

If they owe u salary for say three months or more, and when they decide to pay, they pay u piecemeal, or they start giving u tasks outside ur JD, u cannot complain or leave since they gat u by the balls.

I onced signed an agreement with an American loan broker that I would not operate a loan brokerage practice within New York City with about a 50km radius around it for 5 years. Note, we were arranging a huge loan for a estate development in Lekki.

Though that was a business relationship, many have request such protection lest you compete with them due to the unfair advantage you now have by working with them.

I believed there's a unit called recovery unit that help with the loan recovery. Or is it the staff that will go after defaulters?

It depends on how the institution is structured but for most of them, you are the one to search for customers, do the KYC and then when they default you go after them since you are the one that recommended them to the company and you claimed you know where they live through the KYC you conducted.

It's a normal practice in civilized country.

Some company in Nigeria send you abroad for training but you must enter an agreement (bond) with them not to resign for at least 3-4 years.

If you are terminated, would you honor that agreement or eat? Just don't mess with their competitors, agree and earn your money.

Are u alright?

Don't mind the idiot with that stupid pic he posted. He is a beast in human form

Hmmm

This would go back and forth because you clearly don't know about law of contract. If I sign a contract to help you beat up someone, the contract is null and void because we have existing laws against assault and battery. If I sign a contract that I cannot work for another similar company after leaving my present one, the contract is null and void because there are existing labours that protect me from such acts. It does not matter whether I was forced or not.

Bottom line: NOT all contracts are admissible in court!

If you don't understand what I wrote, just let it be that we agree to disagree because it requires a general understanding of contract and labour laws.

GboyegaD:


What is the illegality in this case? It is a contract that is binding if you choose to append your signature on it. It is stated in the offer letter and it is part of the terms and conditions. Whoever signs it isn't forced and neither is it signed under duress. It is time we take responsibility for our lives and actions and stop being unnecessary cunning in the name of being smart.

they r afraid u will sell their idea to third party

Let me let this rest since it is obvious you just want to fault the non compete clause.

Be careful what you sign…

Can this be true?
If true let we the yorubas support an Igbo man for president of the federal republic of Nigeria come 2023. God bless ndigbo for turning Lagos to a beautiful city.

Most of you are just fools. You create enemies for yourselves unnecessarily thinking you're compaigning for Peter Obi. What are you implying with the stupid infographics you attached to your post? Why don't you show the "mansions" of the Igbo traffic gala and soft drink hawkers,and osanyas in Lagos markets.. Idiot.

seyimailbox:

Neither is it against the Nigeria Labor Laws. By signing the document, it becomes binding on you. It is an agreement.

are you aware of illegal agreements? It could look binding to you, but before the law its simply exploitation.

No,it's not!
Multinational Companies do put such a clause to protect their ends,as they are aware such caliber of staff will know their secret and get immediate employment with their competitors!

It simply means If we fire you, you resign or retire from Coca Cola Plc, then you have to wait for a year before working for Pepsi Plc or Bigi Plc.

. Which state are you in in Nigeria?

I'm in Edo state brother Auchi to be precise. I can change location if I get a good one thou that isn't an issue. Thanks for your concern brother, I really appreciate

Conditions like that are against the labour law and cannot stand.
My take (as once advised by a lawyer) is: Take up the job and move whenever/wherever you want. The employer can't enforce the clause.

That’s a standard non-compete clause…

Courts will usually only enforce it if deemed “reasonable”…
Accordingly, it depends on each particular factual circumstances.

That’s INCORRECT…

Non-compete clause are NOT illegal (or by law automatically “null and void”)…
Rather, courts will determine whether the restriction is “reasonable” in terms of duration and scope.

Asking you to not immediately work for a competitor is NOT akin to asking you to commit a crime.

How the Bleep does that make Nigeria worse or better? That's a stupid contract which I will gladly break and break again because it's trying to restrict my freedom for no goddamned reason. I'm sure you download songs and books online for free, you're not any better.

If you take offense, I'm sorry for anything. All in all, the contract is slavery.

if u r going to be paid for the aftermath it is not slavery.

I agree with this. You must use payment and buy my loyalty or forget it otherwise, who you be?
