Document background
A Non Compete Letter To New Employer is utilized when an employee transitions between companies while bound by non-compete obligations from their previous employment. This document is particularly relevant in the Australian business environment, where non-compete provisions must meet reasonableness requirements under both common law and state legislation. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally notifies the new employer of existing restrictions, demonstrates the previous employer's intent to protect their interests, and seeks cooperation in ensuring compliance. The document typically includes details about restricted activities, geographical limitations, time periods, and specific protections for confidential information or client relationships. It's essential in industries where employee movement could potentially impact competitive advantages or client relationships.
