interesting the judge's ruling. IMHO Kenya is very much an employers market probably due to the huge skilled workforce so they can afford to pull stunts like preventing you moving to a company of your choice. If they want to get return on training you, fine they can bond you but dictating your options after is too much. On 11/30/10, Anthony Lenya <tlensya@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all,
I have been wondering if there is a basis in law preventing someone from changing jobs to join a competitor (a similar business). I know most organizations have a clause in their employment contract preventing an employee for working for a similar business for a certain duration of time. But I see it happening in the media industry and Telcos all the time. Also, I remember sometime back a judge throwing out such a case (a media house against some employee) on the basis that the employer could not deny a person the use his skills to earn a living.
Any skunks out there who are familiar with the law, please shed some light.
Regards,
