It protects against poaching. Huge!! It demonstrates a well run company; It helps retain important employees etc etc . PLEASE dealer, let Ken and company help you today!

Poaching is only one issue addressed in the restrictive covenant provisions, and not every state permits such provisions, so be careful not to delude yourself. It's common for a buyer of alarm accounts to inquire about key employees and whether they are under any restrictions if and when they leave the employment. Restrictions on competition are enforced only to the extent necessary for the employer as long as not unduly burdensome to the employee, and in some states not enforceable at all. But all states do recognize that confidential and proprietary data and information is property of the employer and an employee cannot leave employment with more than might be stored in the employee's head; certainly no electronic or hard copy records. ******************** STANDARD FORM AGREEMENTS: To order up to date Standard Form Alarm / Security / Fire and related Agreements click here: www.alarmcontracts.com *************************** CONCIERGE LAWYER SERVICE PROGRAM FOR THE ALARM INDUSTRY - You can check out the program and sign up here: https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/concierge or contact our Program Coordinator Stacy Spector, Esq at 516 747 6700 x 304. *********************** WEBINARS: https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-webinars *********************** ALARM ARTICLES: You can always read our Articles on our website at www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-articles updated daily ******************** Wondering how much your alarm company is worth?
