Just a thought.....
When i signed my contract all those years ago saying was not permitted to work for another company or myself using the techniques i was taught by them, I didnt find out if that was actually legal i just abided by it.
Maybe adding something like that in our contracts would be enough even if it couldnt be backed by law. It just may be enough to make them think it. A bit naughty i know, but alls fair in love and war
I know someone in a similar business to me and he gets all his new employees to sign a contract to say they are aware that no liquidation will paid should their employment be terminated!! Now we all know that it doesnt matter what that contract says the law of the land overules it, but no one who works for him has been paid liquidation nor tried to get it as they know they signed that bit of paper. I mean we are not talking about educated knowledgable people here, i dont mean that to sound rude but they wouldnt know any better.
I mean that it totally out of order and i just couldnt live with the nerves of someone oneday catching me out, but he obviously feels he needs to do it...tut tut!
But in this case im not trying to do someone out of money owed of anything like that, just thinking and trying to preserve what we have worked so hard for.
Thanks
