Breach of Employment Contract
I am a software developer working for a company , let's say Company A , my company has contractual staffing business model where it has provided me to a company B.
Company B in turn has a client company C for which I am working.
Company C has offered me a position directly with them , my query is that can I join this company C without any legal complications from my company i.e company A.
I have following clause in my employment contract with my company :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You shall not, directly or indirectly, perform services or take up employment
with any client of the company for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of
termination of your employment with the company without any written permission.
In such a case you have to pay the company an equivalent amount of 12 months
of your last drawn salary.
