كيف يمكن التغلب على شرط عدم المنافسة لمدة سنتين؟

مرحبًا،

أريد فقط الحصول على معلومات بخصوص شرط عدم المنافسة في عقد العمل.

ذكرت الشركة فترة سنتين بعد إنهاء الخدمة أو الاستقالة من الشركة.

يرجى تقديم المشورة حول كيفية التغلب على هذا.

Dear questioner,

Article 12 of the executive regulations of the law regulating labor relations in the private sector stipulates that in the event of a dispute over the competition clause and failure to settle amicably, the matter shall be referred to the judiciary and the burden of proving the damage falls on the employer.

If the person is working as a sales manager for a pharmaceutical company, he can work only in a job related to sales in that field.

In this case, what should I do?

Kindly advise on this!

Thanks!

I don't understand.

Is the new job offer related to working in the same position as a sales manager for a pharmaceutical company?

Hi questioner,

The non-competition clause is the standard clause that has to be implemented and abide by as per the UAE labor law. It is implemented by the employer in all employment contracts.

Hi Shamsa,

Trust you are doing well!

If the employer mentions 2 years, how to work in the same field?

Please advise!

Generally, this is not applied to the professionals like doctors, lawyers, and engineers.

However, when there is a threat to the company that you will disclose the data or the business will be impacted by you joining another company in the same field, this clause is included to safeguard the company.

OK!

What is the solution to overcome and sort out this kind of issue?
