Re : Breach of the "Non-competition clause" under Employment Agreement
Dear [Title] LAST,
You were an employee of ACCOUNT_JOB_COMPANY (“Company”) and held the position of "[Position]" from [period of employment]. Enclosed please find a copy of your employment agreement (the “Agreement") duly signed by you for your reference. We hereby highlight the non-competition clause of the Agreement.
Upon enquires and searches, we discovered that after you had left our Company on or about [date], without our knowledge and consent, you have been employed to work on and handle projects for "[Name of Customer]" (hereinafter "Customer"), which is a customer of our Company's, through a recruitment agency. Moreover, to our Company's surprise, you are handling the same project you used to handle for Customer while you were an employee of our Company's.
Our Company is of the view that your actions are in direct competition of our Company's business and interest. In light of the above, we are of the view that your actions did in fact breach the following clauses of the Agreement:
1. [For a period of [Number] years or as long as is permissible by the applicable national, regional and local laws, following the termination of this Agreement, EMPLOYEE agrees that he/she shall not call on, solicit, or take away any of our Company's existing clientele or any potential client(s) that Employee became aware of as direct or indirect result of performing the duties and obligations under this Agreement;] and
2. [The Employee shall not for the period of [Number] months after his or her Employment is terminated solicit or transact business in competition with the Employer from or with any person who is a customer of the Employer at the date of termination and during the three months immediately prior to such date and with whom the Employee had personal contact during the course of his or her Employment.]
