An employment restraint typically refers to any legal restriction or limitation imposed on an individual's ability to work in a certain capacity or industry, usually as a condition of employment or after termination of employment.

Common examples include non-compete agreements, which prevent employees from working for a competitor or starting a competing business for a specified period of time within a certain geographic area, and non-solicitation agreements, which prohibit employees from soliciting clients or employees from their former employer.

Employment restraints aim to protect a company's intellectual property, trade secrets, or client relationships, but they can also impact an individual's career opportunities and mobility.
