hi,
I have started my own business in the same industry that I currently work in. I have told my employer all along when the company I made an offer accepted.
I don’t recall signing a contract, however I would like to confirm what I know is in their contracts.
It stats “not to encourage or attempt to solicit the employee to cease employee by the company”
My question is I have worked a long side an employee and are close friends, when I informed them I was leaving they asked if there was a position vacant for them. ar this stage I have a position for them.
This person has made it clear they haven’t been happy at their current employer for a while and have actively been looking even before I purchased a business.
So would this classify as soliciting an employee even though I don’t believe I have encouraged them to leave or had this discussions during work hours?
