Know your obligations to your former employer


IN May this year, the Singapore High Court found a former top agency manager of an insurance firm liable for breach of contract in soliciting the exodus of over 200 agents for a competitor while he was still with the company.

The court opined that the former manager had to abide by a non-solicitation obligation when he was working with the company. However, the obligation was absent in the agency agreement he had signed when he started working for the firm. Therefore, he was not subject to any non-solicitation obligation after he left.
