Also employers, more than ever before, need to protect themselves from competitors seeking to `poach' employees with confidential information or valuable contacts. This practical guide explains both employers' and employees' legal obligations and shows how to draft suitable contracts, incorporating works rule books and collective agreements. Readers are also shown how to draft clauses for particular business needs. Legal pitfalls are explained and illustrated, with reference to recent cases and disputes. No employer should be without this book.
