It is often said that employment is not a marriage and, therefore, is not meant to last for a lifetime and employers seem to be acutely aware of this when drafting employment contracts.
This they do by ensuring that the contracts contain provisions that restrict the employee from engaging in certain activities that would be detrimental to the business of the employer both during and after the employment relationship. Such contractual restrictions are known as restrictive covenants.
