Dear Sir/ Madam,
I was employed by one of the coaching agencies as a consultant and was on a pay per hour basis. There was a non-compete clause in the employemnt contract stating that I cannot compete with them for 18 months after my employment with them terminated.
I have been a consultant for them for over one year and my contarct with them has since expired. There was not one engagement that I was offered and thus I have not received a single payment from them during this one year, though they did take me through an interent based training.
I am genuinely interested in this sector and am thinking of starting up my own business. In light of the fact that I did not engage with them on even a single engagement and thus was not gainfully employed by them, can they hold me to court on the basis of that employment contract?
Look forward to your advice.
Thanks
Sumit Mittal
