If your employment contract includes a non-compete clause, it means that after you quit, you can’t work for a competitor for a defined period of time. Usually employees working in sensitive roles are made to sign such employment contracts with non-compete clauses.
Prof. Paramjeet Singh, Associate Professor of Practice, BITS Law School, said to ET Wealth Online that an employer can get a court order preventing an employee from joining a competitor during the notice period as the employment contract is still legally valid.
