Answer #1

1. Yes, in my opinion the clause is valid since it clearly specifies that Simon shall not join any of the competitors of Apex Computing for six months in Canada after his employment with Apex Computing ends. Since Simon joined Nova Computing within six months of leaving Apex Computing, hence the clause is valid and Nova Computing can fire Simon if they come to know about the clause.

2. Yes, Nova Computing would be able to terminate Simon's employment due to the restrictive covenant because the contract with Apex Computing clearly specifies that Simon won't be able to join any of the competitors of Apex Computing in Canada for six months after leaving Apex Computing. In the event of breach of contract, Apex Computing can sue both Simon and Nova Computing. Hence Nova Computing has all rights to terminate employment of Simon due to restrictive covenant.
