Question on non competency
I worked for company ''A''. who did a contract for me with company B. Company ''B'' had ''BIG COMPANY'' as its client.
Company A had its contarct with Company ''B'' and it has no relationship with company ''BIG COMPANY''. It never got paid by company ''BIG COMPANY''.
I resigned from company ''A'' gave them 2 weeks notice ( although I was not required to do so ) and joined company ''C''.
I have these words in the Employment Agreement...
Employee shall not accept employment directly or indirectly with at for or by Client for a period of x days following the completion of Employees assignment to Client without written consent of the Company.
I joined company ''C'' who had company ''BIG COMPANY'' as its client. My question is : since ''BIG COMPANY'' is not directly the client of company ''A'' am I bound by the agreement not to join company ''C'' and work for ''BIG COMPANY''
Moreover my company did not pay me for the last 1 month. Is this a strong point for me.
Please advice.
Thanks
S
