Document background
The Employee Non-Compete Agreement is a crucial document for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia who need to protect their legitimate business interests, trade secrets, and competitive advantage. This agreement is particularly important in situations where employees have access to sensitive information, key client relationships, or specialized knowledge. The document must comply with Saudi Arabian Labor Law, specifically Article 83, which requires that non-compete restrictions be limited in duration, geographic scope, and nature of work, and that the employee must be of legal age and have access to confidential information or client contacts. The agreement typically includes specific provisions about restricted activities, temporal and geographical limitations, and consideration provided to the employee, all while ensuring compliance with both civil law and Sharia principles that govern Saudi Arabian legal framework.
