Office Worker/Administrator Employment Agreement with Restrictive Covenants

The Office Worker/Administrator Employment Agreement with Restrictive Covenants can be applied to a wide variety of jobs, in particular clerical, administrative and secretarial roles and other roles where an enhanced level of restriction is required.

Employers must provide workers and employees with a written statement of their main terms and conditions of employment and this is often known as a Standard Form Section One Statement.

This Contract covers the requirements of a Standard Form Section One Statement. This contract complies with these requirements and must be provided to the employee or worker by day one of employment.

The effect of the restrictive covenants contained in this contract is that they limit the employee's ability to move to a new role in a different company and compete with your business, or take your staff or customers with them. Do not use this contract if these circumstances are unlikely to arise with your new employee.

This Office Worker/Administrative Employment Agreement includes restrictive covenants provisions affording protection to the employer. There is a non-compete covenant, which prevents employees or ex-employees from being involved in a competitor business; a non-solicitation covenant, which prevents employees or ex-employees from soliciting business from clients/prospective clients or suppliers; and a non-poaching covenant, which prevents the employee from enticing away his/her former colleagues.

Restrictive covenants should be no wider than is necessary to protect your “legitimate business interests”. If their scope is too wide, they may not be enforceable. Please ensure that you carefully consider each restrictive covenant, removing any that are not relevant to your particular business and to the specific employee. Ensure that time and geographical limits are appropriate and reasonable to the nature of your business.
