Staff Poaching?

2 replies

Hi - I hope someone can help - I work in an IT consultancy, and part of my role is to spend time in clients' premises. I have nothing in my contract that states I cannot leave to work at a clients' on giving notice. I have given my notice of employment last week stating that I am leaving. They have now come back to me that my current employer is looking into the framework agreement contract between my current company and the new company (under which I was working at the clients' place, but which I have never seen and/or signed) about staff poaching.

Is it normal to have something in those framework agreements regarding staff leaving to work at clients?
Is there something I can do - can anyone advise of the implications if this is the case? Considering there is nothing in my contract of employment?

I should hear back from my current company by early next week, but if anyone has any experience/thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, these kind of things are often in place, and your new employer might be in breach of contract.

Hello Loopy - thanks for your quick reply. Could you advise what the implications would be? Could I have my job offer taken away? (essentially I end up with no job?)
