竞业限制诉讼的举证方法-竞业限制知识大全|极兔竞调
日前,竞业限制纠纷越来越多。那么,在竞业限制案件实操过程中,到底举证责任是由谁来负责?公司举证,还是劳动者举证?
如果公司与劳动者都需要举证,那么,他们分别举证什么内容呢?
今天,我们就竞业限制纠纷的举证问题进行分析,当然竞业限制诉讼的举证责任分析涉及多个方面。
一、用人单位的举证责任
1.证明竞业限制协议的存在与有效性:用人单位首先需要证明与劳动者之间存在有效的竞业限制协议。这通常要求提供书面协
议作为证据,并证明该协议是在双方自愿、平等的基础上签订的,且不违反法律法规的强制性规定。
2.证明劳动者的竞业行为:用人单位需举证证明劳动者存在违反竞业限制义务的行为。这包括但不限于劳动者在离职后加入了
与原单位存在竞争关系的企业,或自行从事了与原单位相同或相似的业务。由于劳动者离职后的竞业行为往往较为隐蔽,用人
单位在此方面的举证可能面临较大困难。
3.证明商业秘密的存在与保护措施:如果竞业限制协议是基于保护商业秘密而签订的,用人单位还需证明其拥有商业秘密,并
采取了合理的保密措施。这包括证明商业秘密的具体内容、不为公众所知悉、能为权利人带来经济利益等特征,以及用人单位
为保护商业秘密所采取的具体措施。
二、劳动者的举证责任
1.反驳用人单位的主张:劳动者有权对用人单位提出的竞业限制协议无效、不存在竞业行为等主张进行反驳。例如,劳动者可
以提供证据证明自己在离职后并未加入竞争企业,或所从事的业务与原单位不存在竞争关系。
2.证明竞业限制协议的违法性或不合理性:如果劳动者认为竞业限制协议存在违法或不合理之处,如协议主体不适格、超过法
定期限、未约定经济补偿等,劳动者需承担相应的举证责任。
综上所述,竞业限制诉讼中的举证责任分配遵循“谁主张、谁举证”的基本原则。用人单位和劳动者都需根据各自的主张和反
驳意见,提供充分、合法的证据来支持自己的立场。

Recently, there have been an increasing number of non compete disputes. So, in the practical process of non
compete cases, who is responsible for the burden of proof? Does the company provide evidence or does the
employee provide evidence?
If both the company and the employee need to provide evidence, what should they provide separately?
Today, we will analyze the issue of evidence in non compete disputes. Of course, the analysis of the burden of
proof in non compete litigation involves multiple aspects.
1、 The burden of proof of the employer
1. Proving the existence and validity of non compete agreements: Employers first need to prove the existence
of a valid non compete agreement with employees. This usually requires providing a written agreement as
evidence and proving that the agreement was signed on a voluntary and equal basis by both parties, and does
not violate mandatory provisions of laws and regulations.
2. Proving the employee's non compete behavior: The employer needs to provide evidence to prove that the
employee has violated the non compete obligation. This includes but is not limited to the employee joining a
company that competes with their original employer after leaving, or engaging in the same or similar business
as their original employer on their own. Due to the fact that employees' non compete behavior after leaving is
often concealed, employers may face significant difficulties in providing evidence in this regard.
3. Proof of the existence and protection measures of trade secrets: If the non compete agreement is signed based
on the protection of trade secrets, the employer also needs to prove that it owns the trade secrets and has taken
reasonable confidentiality measures. This includes proving the specific content of trade secrets, their lack of public
knowledge, their ability to bring economic benefits to rights holders, and the specific measures taken by employers
to protect trade secrets.
2、 The burden of proof for workers
1. Refuting the employer's claims: Employees have the right to refute the employer's claims that the non compete
agreement is invalid or there is no non compete behavior. For example, employees can provide evidence to prove
that they did not join a competing company after leaving, or that the business they engaged in did not have a
competitive relationship with their original employer.
2. Proving the illegality or irrationality of the non compete agreement: If the employee believes that there are illegal
or unreasonable aspects to the non compete agreement, such as the unsuitability of the agreement subject,
exceeding the statutory period, or not agreeing on economic compensation, the employee shall bear the corresponding
burden of proof.
In summary, the allocation of burden of proof in non compete litigation follows the basic principle of "whoever asserts,
who provides evidence". Both employers and workers need to provide sufficient and legal evidence to support their
positions based on their respective claims and rebuttal opinions.
