1、劳动者是否应履行竞业限制义务？

如有竞业限制协议，也并非一定要遵守竞业限制协议，只有竞业限制适用人员方应遵守协议。财务、技术研发、销售

等敏感岗位一般认定属于适用人员，其他非涉密岗位不应属于适用人员，但如单位可举证证明可以接触到商业秘密除外。

2、是否属于竞品公司？

工商登记的经营范围是重要参考，但应根据实际经营事项确定。如190号指导案例。

是否构成“同业同类”，除工商登记范围外，还会审查实际产品或服务、网站及自媒体宣传平台、供应商、客户或

用户群体等综合判断。

3、是否入职竞品公司的证明

劳动者为规避风险，往往采用人事代理、劳务派遣等非直接与竞品公司签约、缴纳社保的方式，用人单位的取证难度较高。

司法裁判中，对于用人单位的举证标准会适当性降低。很多案件中，法官会公开心证，引导当事人继续举证。有的案件，

法官明确要求当事人（劳动者）必须出庭或者要求其代理人跟当事人核实，是否入职竞业公司，并对虚假陈述承担法律责任。

4、经济补偿金与违约金

竞业限制补偿金显著过低或者没有约定，存在争议。但一般认为，不会导致竞业限制协议无效，当然劳动者可以要求调高。

竞业限制约定的违约金，往往比较高。劳动者往往希望调低违约金，违约金是否调低，法院会根据劳动者原收入情况、竞业

情况、主观过错、未履行期限、经济补偿金的金额等，综合判断衡量。

5、认定违约后，是否需要继续履行竞业限制义务？

Frequently Asked Questions about Non compete Agreements - A Comprehensive Guide to Non compete 

Investigation | Jitu Competitive Investigation

1. Should employees fulfill their non compete obligations?

If there is a non compete agreement, it is not necessary to comply with the non compete agreement. 

Only the personnel subject to the non compete agreement should comply with the agreement. Sensitive 

positions such as finance, technology research and development, and sales are generally recognized as 

applicable personnel, while other non confidential positions should not be considered applicable personnel, 

except where the unit can provide evidence to prove access to trade secrets.

2. Is it a competitor company?

The scope of business registration is an important reference, but it should be determined based on actual 

business matters. Such as the guidance case No. 190.

Whether it constitutes "same industry and similar category", in addition to the scope of industrial and 

commercial registration, will also be comprehensively judged by examining actual products or services, 

websites and self media promotion platforms, suppliers, customers or user groups.

3. Proof of employment with a competitor company

To avoid risks, workers often use non direct methods such as personnel agency and labor dispatch to sign 

contracts with competing companies and pay social security, which makes it difficult for employers to obtain 

evidence. In judicial rulings, the appropriateness of the standard of proof for employers may decrease. In many 

cases, judges will publicly evaluate evidence and guide the parties to continue providing evidence. In some cases, 

judges explicitly require the parties (workers) to appear in court or require their representatives to verify with the 

parties whether they have joined a non compete company, and bear legal responsibility for false statements.

4. Economic compensation and liquidated damages

The non compete compensation is significantly too low or not agreed upon, and there is controversy. But it is 

generally believed that it will not render the non compete agreement invalid, and of course, employees can 

request a higher price.

The penalty for breach of non compete agreements is often relatively high. Workers often hope to lower the 

penalty for breach of contract. Whether to lower the penalty for breach of contract will be evaluated by the 

court based on the worker's original income situation, competition situation, subjective fault, non performance 

period, and the amount of economic compensation.

5. Is it necessary to continue fulfilling non compete obligations after determining a breach of contract?
