Frequently asked questions
Are restrictive covenants enforceable?
Only if they go no further than reasonably necessary to protect the employer's legitimate business interests. Many are drafted too widely. We can advise whether yours would hold up.
Can my employer change my contract?
Generally only with your agreement or where the contract allows it. Imposing changes without consent can amount to a breach. We advise on your options.
What notice am I entitled to?
Your contract sets your notice period, but there are statutory minimums based on length of service. We can confirm what you are owed.
