I’m not sure if I signed some kind of contract. I know I can’t work private. I’m not trying to do that. Honestly, I want away from the whole company clients etc, when my client family member found out where I was going to work, she wants to leave the company I’m leaving from and request me at the new company I’m going with…. I’m not sure what to tell her?? I’m already hired and lined up with clients just waiting my start date
Get a copy of what you signed when you were hired at the other agency. There maybe a non-compete clause. Your client going to your new employer and having you continue as their aide could look suspicious. Like your stealing a client. Your former client needs to read what they signed when they hired your former employer. In my opinion you have a right to change employers and your client has a right to change agencies. These non-compete clauses are usually done so one company doesn't steal a good employee from another. I have read that these clauses are being outlawed in some states.
Yes, you quitting then working privately for a client is a no no. And that client has probably signed something say they can be sued if they do that.
There is nothing to stop you telling the former client's family member where you are going, and the name of your new agency, but beyond that you don't get involved. If your former client's family isn't satisfied with the current provider and wants to switch to a new agency there is nothing to stop it, but she needs to understand that the new agency will probably not be able to guarantee her named workers, though - and you certainly can't.
