Employers need standing up for too

Blogg’s (fictional) is a small recruitment agency based in Bromley.  It provides its clients with a healthy working atmosphere, provides a great incentive scheme to its sales staff and business is booming.  However, there is a problem.  Despite the generous nature of the agency, one of its employees is consistently late to work and fails to properly carry out the duties of his role.  He is fairly dismissed using all the proper legal procedures.

Two months later, Blogg’s sees a sudden and sharp fall in its business.  The economy isn’t at fault and the labour market is buoyant.  Blogg’s employees have been working as hard as ever.  There’s only one answer: the employee who was dismissed copied lists of clients, contacts and leads and his now using them for himself.

What can Blogg’s do ?

There are several possibilities.  Blogg’s could claim it’s intellectual property rights have been stolen  It could double check its employment contracts and bring a claim against the ex-employee for a breach of a restrictive covenant, which prohibits employees using confidential information belonging to the business.

Standing up for Bromley business

Whilst no one can really have an issue with the statutory rights that employees are given, it is certainly true that employee rights are usually in the spotlight, whilst employers are left out in the dark.  Perhaps it is a fascination with the ‘underdog’ triumphing over ‘big business’.
