Document background
The After Termination of Employment Contract is essential for businesses operating in the Philippines who need to protect their legitimate interests following an employee's departure. This document is typically used when an employment relationship ends and there's a need to formalize ongoing obligations and restrictions under Philippine law. It's particularly crucial for positions involving access to confidential information, client relationships, or intellectual property. The agreement must balance the employer's need to protect business interests with the employee's right to work, as recognized by Philippine labor laws and jurisprudence. It should be drafted in compliance with the Labor Code of the Philippines and relevant DOLE guidelines, particularly regarding any restrictive covenants.
