Can my former employer enforce a non-compete clause in Dubai?I used to work for a Dubai company in a sales role. Around eight months ago I resigned, giving one month's notice period, as per my employer's policy.
I have now returned to Dubai and am about to get a visa from another company in the same line of business but I will be working as an accountant.
My last employer has sent me a notice saying I cannot work for this other firm due to the non-compete clause of Article 127 in their contract of employment.
Is this a problem for me or can I now take up this accountancy role for the new company?
