What is a non-solicitation clause?

A non-solicitation clause in an employment contract is and agreement in which an employee agrees not to solicit a company’s clients or customers, for his or her own benefit or for the benefit of a competitor, after leaving the company. A non-solicitation clause can also include an agreement by the employee not to solicit other employees to leave when he or she quits or otherwise moves on.

This is the question we put to employment law solicitor and expert Tosh Polpitye.

So non-solicitation means don't do these things to us for a period of time so it protects the business interests.
