Hi all,
I've been reading a lot about the handcuff rule and have read a few posts that make it a bit unclear.
I have the below condition and now have the opportunity to work with the same end client after 8 months of leaving. Is 12 months enforceable? is this deemed "Anti-competitive" as i have been asked by a different Hirer to go back to the same end user (which would in turn be getting paid by either the hirer, or a new agency)
I opted out (now i have my regrets!)
3 The Supplier shall and shall procure that the Representative shall
3.1 not during the Contract Period or thereafter for a period of 12 months either directly or indirectly (whether under a contract of
services or contract for services or through any third party) provide any services to the Hirer or End User in any capacity except
by contract through the Agency unless the Supplier shall first have paid to the Agency a fee of 30% of the total remuneration
including the value of benefits attributed by HM Revenue & Customs agreed to be paid or provided by the Hirer or End User for
the relevant period of provision of such services (but not exceeding 12 months) plus VAT;
