SSEK contributed the Indonesia chapter to a new Employment Law Alliance (ELA) publication, "When Employees Leave: What Employers in Asia/Pacific Need to Know about Protecting Company Rights and Confidential Information."
The publication is based on a webinar presented by Asia-Pacific members of the ELA. It discusses the issues of non-competition and the protection of confidential and proprietary information, and the steps companies can take to protect their interests when employees leave. The three key issues addressed are:
- Is it possible to prevent employees from competing? If there is a post-termination non-compete, what are the remedies? Are injunctions available?
- What remedies are possible for a breach of a confidentiality obligation and IP rights?
- What are the considerations if the breach involves cross-border?
Including Indonesia, there are 16 jurisdictions covered in this publication: Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand.
