Hi All,
I have just finished my first contract at the end of Jan 07. However I am having trouble getting paid for my last month that I work (very hard I might add) on that contract.
The reason is, that the end client wanted my contract extended for 4 weeks, however in that time I got another bigger contract and I took it. I did not sign to the extension, nor did I explicitly stated that I will take the extension.
Now they (the middlemen), have asked me to sign to these two clauses below
1. Take up employment or any other nature of assignment with any of <middlemen/> clients, either on a temporary or permanent basis for a period of two (2) years from the date of the signed agreement, without the prior permission and agreement of <middlemen/>.
2. Inflict any commercial damage (knowingly or otherwise) in terms of loss of revenues, goodwill or other corporate standing between <middlemen/> and its clients where you have been placed whilst under the life tenure of the NDA.
I guess what I want is some advise in this matter? Is this legal? How do I get my money?
Any help would be much appreciated.
regards,
buff
