EMPLOYEE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS Following are covenants that you can copy and paste into any employment agreement. Thus, the contracts you will sign with future or actual employees will legally protect the company and employees. Remember to ask your lawyer to review any legal document you are about to sign. Restrictive Covenants The Employee acknowledges that the Corporation, through its employment of the Employee, has provided the Employee with confidential information, business and professional contacts, training and experience, and the ability to service and otherwise have access to the Corporation's clients. The Employee further acknowledges that such confidential information, business and professional contacts, training and experience, and the ability to service and otherwise have access to the Corporation's clients are the result of his employment by the Corporation. In consideration of the foregoing and of the benefits generally provided to the Employee by the Corporation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and otherwise, the Employee agrees to abide and be bound by the restrictions and prohibitions of this Article, which restrictions are intended by the parties to extend to any and all activities of the Employee, whether as an independent contractor, partner or joint venturer, or as an officer, director, stockholder, agent, employee or salesman for any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity, or otherwise. Hiring The Employee agrees that during the Employee's employment with the Corporation and for a period of [NUMBER] years following the termination of this Agreement, whether the termination shall be voluntary or involuntary, or with or without cause, the Employee will not attempt to hire any other employee or independent contractor of the Corporation or otherwise encourage or attempt to encourage any other employee or independent contractor of the Corporation to leave the Corporation's employ. Confidentiality; Disclosure; Proprietary Information Employee recognizes and acknowledges that all records with respect to clients, business associates, customer or referral lists, contracting parties and referral sources of the Corporation, and all personal, financial and business and proprietary information of the Corporation, its employees, officers, directors and shareholders obtained by the Employee during the term of this Agreement and not generally known in the public (the "Confidential Information") are valuable, special and unique and proprietary assets of the Corporation's business. The Employee hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement and following the termination of this Agreement, whether the termination shall be voluntary or involuntary, or with or without cause, the Employee will not at any time, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information, in full or in part, in written or other form, to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity, or utilize the same for any reason or purpose whatsoever other than for the benefit of and pursuant to authorization granted by the Corporation. Solicitation The Employee further agrees that during the term of this Agreement and following the termination of this Agreement, whether the termination shall be voluntary or involuntary, or with or without cause, the Employee will not, in any manner or at any time, solicit or encourage any person, firm, corporation or other business entity who are clients, business associates or referral sources of the Corporation to cease doing business with the Corporation or to do business with the Employee. Non-Competition With Corporation Clients Employee agrees that during the term of the Employee's employment with the Corporation and for a period of [NUMBER] years following the cessation of the relationship with the Corporation, the Employee shall not provide any service to or lend any aid or device to any of the clients of the Employer. Covenants Independent Each restrictive covenant on the part of the Employee set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant independent of any other covenant or provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement which the Corporation and the Employee may have, fully performed and not executory, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Employee against the Corporation whether predicated upon another covenant or provision of this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Corporation of any other covenant.
