Hi All ,

I have a situation on which I would like your advise.

Company A hires an engineer who is given intensive training in the first month of his job. In a month from then he gets an offer from an MNC and quits as he is getting a better salary there. He says he has personal problems and leaves.

Company A finds out that he has joined the competition in 4 days. According to his contract of employment he is not supposed to join a competitor for 2 years after he resigns from Company A.

What legal action can Company A initiate to punish the employee and what preventive measures can be made to avoid such a situation again in the future. Anyways this is the third time this has happened ?

Await your advise.
