No Solicitation of Employees In partial consideration for the award of these Units, in order to forestall the disclosure or use of Confidential Information, as well as to deter the Grantee’s intentional interference with the contractual relations of the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Grantee’s intentional interference with prospective economic advantage of the Company or any Affiliated Company, and to promote fair competition, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee’s right to receive the Shares upon settlement of the Units is contingent upon the Grantee refraining, during the Period of Restriction and for a period of one (1) year after the Settlement Date, for himself/herself or any third party, directly or indirectly, from soliciting for employment any person employed by the Company, or by any Affiliated Company, during the period of the solicited person’s employment and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of the solicited person’s employment with the Company or any Affiliated Company (collectively “Solicit”). If, during the term of the Period of Restriction or at any time within one (1) year after the Settlement Date, the Grantee breaches his/her obligation not to Solicit, the Grantee’s right to the Shares upon settlement of the Units shall not have been earned and the Units, whether vested or not, will be immediately cancelled, and the Grantee shall immediately return to the Company the Shares issued in settlement of the Units or the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of such Shares. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE CONDUCT DESCRIBED, BUT PROVIDES FOR THE CANCELLATION OF THE UNITS AND A RETURN TO THE COMPANY OF THE SHARES OR THE GROSS TAXABLE PROCEEDS OF THE SHARES IF THE GRANTEE SHOULD CHOOSE TO VIOLATE THIS NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES PROVISION DURING THE PERIOD OF RESTRICTION OR WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE SETTLEMENT DATE.
Non-Solicitation of Employees The Executive will not, during the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and for a period of one year after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, directly or indirectly, recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to leave the employment of the Company, nor hire any such employee at any enterprise with which the Executive is then affiliated.
Solicitation of Employees I agree that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, I shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity.
No Solicitation or Hiring of Employees During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive shall not solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is employed by the Company or the Company Affiliates (or who was so employed within twelve (12) months prior to the Executive’s action) to terminate or refrain from continuing such employment or to become employed by or enter into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than the Company or the Company Affiliates, and the Executive shall not hire, directly or indirectly, for himself or any other person, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, any such person. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company agrees that (i) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request from any former employee of the Company for advice on employment matters; and (ii) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request for an employment reference regarding any former employee of the Company from such former employee, or from a third party, by providing a reference setting forth his personal views about such former employee, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 7(c); in each case, to the extent the Executive does not encourage the former employee to become employed by a company or business that employs the Executive or with which the Executive is otherwise associated (including, but not limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant, contractor, director or otherwise).
Separation of Employment (a) If an employee is discharged by the Employer, he shall be paid in full for all monies owing to him by the Employer on the date of his discharge.
Nonsolicitation of Employees While employed by the Company and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, for himself or for any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity, attempt to employ or enter into any contractual arrangement with any employee or former employee of the Company, unless such employee or former employee has not been employed by the Company for a period in excess of six months.
Offer of Employment To the extent a Designated Employee is not party to an employment agreement with a Transferor that is a Transferred Contract, the Transferor Parties shall cooperate with the Acquiring Parties and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain on behalf of the Acquiring Parties the acceptance of an offer of employment by any Designated Employees that the Acquiring Parties may hereafter elect to employ, and the Transferor Parties consent to the Acquiring Parties or any of their respective Affiliates communicating directly with such Designated Employees about offers of employment commencing ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date or such earlier date as the Transferors may agree to in their sole discretion. The Acquiring Parties shall make offers of employment to the Designated Employees on terms and conditions to be determined by the Acquiring Parties, provided that each offer of employment is on terms and conditions substantially similar to, and, considered on an overall basis, no less favorable than the Designated Employee’s terms and conditions of employment with the Transferor Parties. The Acquiring Parties shall recognize each Designated Employee’s service with the Transferring Parties for the purposes of calculating all statutory entitlements and the Acquiring Parties shall assume liability for each Designated Employee’s accrued entitlement to annual leave, long service leave and personal leave. The Transferor Parties agree to release each Designated Employee from his or her employment effective from the date on which the Designated Employee will commence employment with the Acquiring Parties. Each Principal has agreed by his execution of this Agreement to execute and deliver at Closing an employment agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Employment Agreement”), to Parent or, if directed by Parent, one of Parent’s Affiliates. Except for obligations to the Transferors, to the Knowledge of the Transferors, the Principals are not obligated under or bound by any agreement or instrument, or any judgment, decree, or order of any court of administrative agency, that (a) conflicts or may conflict with their agreements and obligations to use their commercially reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Acquiring Parties, (b) conflicts or may conflict with the business or operations of the Acquiring Parties, or (c) restricts or may restrict the use or disclosure of any information that may be useful to the Acquiring Parties. Without regard to whether the Acquiror employs the Principals or the Designated Employees, the Transferors shall be solely responsible for all outstanding payments due to the Principals and the Designated Employees under their existing terms of employment with the Transferors (including but not limited to salary, severance obligations or any other payment, except as otherwise provided for in this Section 5.4) through the Closing Date and the Transferor Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Acquiring Parties shall assume or in any fashion be bound by any employment Contract between a Transferor and the Principals or a Designated Employee.
Condition of Employment The Employee acknowledges that his/her employment and the continuance of that employment with the Company is contingent upon his/her agreement to sign and adhere to the provisions of this Agreement. The Employee further acknowledges that the nature of the Company’s business is such that protection of its proprietary and confidential information is critical to its survival and success.
Employee Non-Solicitation During the term of Executive's employment with the Company and for one (1) year thereafter, Executive shall not directly or indirectly encourage any Company employee to terminate his employment with the Company unless Executive does so in the course of performing his duties for the Company and such encouragement is in the Company's best interests. For purposes of this Article VII, the term “Company” means Kohl's Department Stores, Inc. and its parent companies, subsidiaries and other affiliates.
