Q: 3 month contract says I cant have another job during my final notice.
I live in Kentucky and have a contract that says i have to give a 3 month notice before quitting. It also says that i can not get another job in the same field during that same 3 months period. Is this enforceable? Money will get real tight towards the end of my notice period as i am paid on commission. What if i get the job before i give my notice? The contract says nothing about working multiple jobs at the same time? If there is some provision that shows where I will have undue hardship and able to not be held to that one part can you point me in that direction? I do not have an issue with the 3 month part, but the not working 2 jobs will be an issue most likely.
A: It probably is enforceable. If the contract does not preclude you getting another job before you give notice, then you should first acquire the new job and thereafter give your 90 day notice.
