[Mentalpen]

no on FB but all the best

 

[Leethelips]

Page liked and all the best with your new venture

 

[Rotoryboy]

All done

 

[Stephen]

Liked it!

Not sure if it's the same but if Megan ever leaves the hair salon she works in she can't advertise or take any of her current clients from the salon as she can be used for it for taking business away.

Was just saying as I saw on your Facebook page that you said if you had been to your old work it was probably you that did the work for them, maybe something to have a look at to avoid future trouble?

Sounds like scare tactics that to be honest mate, your old employer can't tell you what to do once you've left. If your missus was to leave and set up by herself, its all fair game

Done buddy good luck

I've been watching a sh't load of Suits because I love that programme.

And they're always on about leaving and taking clients. But you can't if you sign a 'non-compete'. Im assuming this exists IRL so if you haven't signed said document, you're good to go?!

I never had a contract all the time i was there, and yep loads of people will come directly to me but nawt he can do as i could "word" it differently ie: work for 14yr at a well known bike shop down pasture st, so thanks for the warning but i should be safe

Well I thought it sounded silly too but it is in her contract that was written up by a solicitor so I'm not sure.

No worries, hope it works out

I have a similar thing in mine that's says I'm not allowed to work for a competitor, I suppose to protect their intellectual property but it's not really enforceable.

Customers are fair game though, just because it's drafted by a lawyer, doesn't mean it would stand up in court. A little bit cheeky of the employer!!

Anyway, a little off topic, best of luck in your new venture pal!!!

Depends if its in her work contract.

Done. Do you know where i could get cheap bikes. Iv been looking a while at specialized status or kona operator

My point is, just because it's in a contract, doesn't mean it's legally binding. It's all circumstantial isn't it and for it to be enforced would mean going to court.

If you are looking at the speccy status i.e long travel or downhill bike why not go the whole hog and get a good second hand demo 8, flawless bike imo.

 

[shauno146]

Seen the demo 8 looks good that abit pricey though
