Abstract: The non-competition clause applies to positions where an employee can acquire specialized knowledge or access important information during their employment. Its purpose is to protect the employer from potential harm caused by the disclosure of information or secrets to third parties, while also limiting the employee’s rights to work after the employment relationship ends. The employment contract specifies the duration of the non-competition period, which, according to the current Labor Law, cannot exceed two years. Additionally, this clause can be geographically limited to avoid competition in the local market. In case of a breach of the non-competition obligation, the employer has the right to claim damages.
