The validity of a non-compete clause
Q: Dear sir/madam, I have been working in a gas company for about 6 years. It is our company`s rule that one cannot switch to another gas company in any scenario within 2 years of resignation from the company. They think that it may cause leaking secrets about customers and suppliers, procedures, and policies to the competitors. Is there any legal value of such imposition? Can a company hold an experience/character certificate or any other valued document or payment in such a case? Thanks!

Q: Dear sir/madam, I am a nanny here in Dubai. I am working for my local employer for almost 8 months now. My employer doesn`t give me a day off.

I want to leave and find another job. They are threatening me that if I stop working with them, they will file a case against me and will deport me, and I will pay 15k for the cost of the visa and other employment documents. Hope someone can advise me. Thank you!
