竞业禁止

    竞业禁止也称竞业限制。它的主要内容是指公司的职员（尤其是高级职员）在其任职期间不得兼职于竞争公司或兼营竞争性业务，在其离职后的特定时期和地区内也不得从业于竞争公司或进行竞争性营业活动。

    竞业禁止的真正目的是为了保护商业秘密，维护企业的经营利益。因此从主体上讲，竞业禁止的对象应该是接触、知悉、掌握商业秘密的员工，通常指企业的高级技术人员、高级管理人员、关键岗位的技术工人、市场计划与营销人员等。

    为了有效保护双方的利益，企业与员工签订竞业禁止合同应遵循三条原则：第一，竞业禁止只能是限制员工的择业权，而不能是剥夺其就业权；第二，企业在限制员工的择业权时应给予劳动者合理的补偿；第三，竞业禁止上限为2年。
