![]() “It is standard business practice in many parts of the world for employment contracts to include controls of reasonable scope and duration to protect confidentiality of information, customer connection and other legitimate business interests," Infosys said on Wednesday. However, senior executives in Infosys and other IT firms said such non-compete clauses are a standard procedure where a list of competing firms are named, joining whom may lead to breach of client confidentiality. This follows a Pune-based labour union’s appeal to the Union labour ministry seeking removal of Infosys’ non-compete clause. To that end, Infosys itself has said that these clauses do not have the effect of preventing employees from joining other organisations," Dasgupta said. “This is a common practice and a lot of IT companies and also companies from other sectors have such clauses despite being fully aware that their enforceability in any court is highly questionable.
