The Non-Compete Contract serves as a crucial tool for businesses operating in Belgium to protect their legitimate business interests, trade secrets, and client relationships. This document is typically implemented when hiring or promoting employees to positions where they will have access to sensitive information, key client relationships, or proprietary technology. Belgian law places specific restrictions on such agreements, requiring them to be limited in duration (maximum 12 months), geographical scope, and including mandatory compensation of at least 50% of the employee's salary during the restricted period. The agreement must be justified by the nature of the employee's role and their access to confidential information or business relationships. It's essential to note that Belgian courts strictly interpret these requirements and may invalidate agreements that exceed legal limitations.
