Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the current legal regulations in the context of rights and obligations of employees and employers against the background of the discussed institution. Particular attention is also paid to the scope of protection of the employee if the discussed agreement was concluded after the termination of the employment relationship. The author of the work has also examined the legislative changes against the background of the institution in question, due to special solutions introduced by the Act of 2 March 2020 on special solutions relating to preventing, counteracting and combating COVID-19, other infectious diseases and crisis situations caused by them. Undoubtedly, the signing of a competition clause during the employment relationship gives the entrepreneur a sense of confidentiality of the information concerning the workplace run by him. On the other hand, when it is concluded after the termination of the employment relationship, the employee obtains positive effects in the form of compensation.
