Other circumstances may also justify restricting employees from competing with their former employers. For example, enhanced employment conditions or salary increases offered in exchange for a commitment to non-compete terms may justify such a clause. Each case is evaluated based on its specific circumstances. As a result, it is challenging to predict how courts and labor tribunals will treat a particular non-compete clause.<\/p>\n

In some cases, the clause may be deemed unjustified and subsequently annulled or not enforced. In other instances, judges may reduce the duration of the agreed-upon non-compete period to make it reasonable under the circumstances. Recent rulings have shortened non-compete periods to just a few months.<\/p>\n
