Not sure if Loyalty contract is the right discription, but here goes.
Back in the U.K a few years back now i trained as a make-up artist with a company called New Image and i had to sign a contract that said should my contract finish as a result of termination or resignation i was not permitted to use any techniques the company had taught me during my time there to work for any other company or myself for two years or legal action would be taken...i forget the details, but that was the jist of it.
I would like to know if there are any laws in the DR that would support such a contract here?
To train our staff takes ALOT of time and money, and allthough i can not stop people from moving on ideally i would like to protect the originality of my business as much as possible. I would also like to add to the contract that working for anyone else or themselves using our equipment, costumes or techniques while employed by us is also not permitted. The area we work in is a very limited, but we have been successful as we were pretty much the first in our area, I could take the risk of training people and for them to become my direct competition.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
