Depending on your legal framework, this limitation may or may not be legally enforceable. (Bearing in mind that IANAL) In South Africa, there's no way a court will uphold a clause that prevents you from getting a job.Frank Shearar– Frank Shearar2010-10-06 07:04:56 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2010 at 7:04

+1 this is one of the two most important clause to look at. I always ask to reduce it to 1 year.user2567– user25672010-10-06 07:40:23 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2010 at 7:40

In the UK, for these clauses to be valid it needs to have a geographic limitation and a time limitation, and for there to plenty of suitable work available for you without breaching this clause. For less senior developers its very easy to change industry sectors when you change jobs, so a geographical limitation of the UK is quite reasonable.Michael Shaw– Michael Shaw2011-11-25 22:58:55 +00:00Commented Nov 25, 2011 at 22:58

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
