Non-compete clauses: Unenforceable under law, but companies love them
==========

Non-compete clauses are still included in employment contracts in India, despite being unenforceable under the law. Companies use them as a soft deterrent, especially for senior executives. Employees comply rather than face litigation costs and being sued by their previous employer. The US Federal Trade Commission recently banned non-compete clauses for US workers. Indian employees tend to be compliant with non-compete obligations due to the severe consequences of breach. Some employees may not know their rights, leading to the inclusion of non-compete clauses in contracts.
