Not every non-compete agreement can be shortened

The provisions of the so called “anti-covid” legislation introduced a new possibility to escape from the obligation to pay con-compete compensation. The employer is able to give seven days’ notice of termination of such agreement during the period of an epidemic or epidemic emergency. Significantly, art. 15gf of the special act does not introduce any other conditions for the possibility of termination (contrary to many other provisions of the special act which impose conditions for the application of certain solutions, e.g. a drop in revenue at a certain level). This would mean, that the legislator intentionally in this case did not indicate any reasons allowing for the termination of such agreement. – Paweł Sych comments for Rzeczpospolita.
