GARDEN LEAVE
11-06-2011
“Garden leave” is the term given to a
situation whereby an employee is required to serve out a period of notice at
home (or “in the garden”). During this period the employee continues to receive
all salary and benefits but is prohibited from commencing employment with new
employers until the gardening leave period has expired. It is a practice which
employers often adopt with employees who have a certain status whereby they
have access to confidential information or customers and where they are leaving
to join a competitor. During the gardening leave period the employee’s access
to such information or customers is either restricted or denied.
