can anyone help? my employer has issued new contracts to all staff with 3 notable new clauses from the one page letter of employment they issued me when I started there nearly 11 years ago. one is extending my notice period from 4 to 8 weeks. one is a confidentiality agreement (which means I guess I'll never write my memoirs..!). The one that is really annoying me is about stealing clients if I leave - not only can I obviously not contact them bla, but this contract forbids me from working for them for a year, whoever contacts whom... I'm going to scrape the money together to get a lawyer to look at it, but wondered if I actually had to sign anything whilst on maternity leave?? any advice HUGELY gratefully received... (I work in PR)
