14. Employment with Customer
Contract Employee agrees that he/she will not, directly or indirectly, alone, or as an employee, contractor, independent contractor, partner, company, or joint-venture, solicit or accept employment on a full or part-time basis, or enter into any contractual or consulting arrangement with Customer, client of Customer to which services were provided, or other staffing firm performing work for Customer or client of Customer during the period of the Agreement or within the six month period following the Termination Date. Contract Employee agrees to notify Insight Global if Customer, any client, agent, partner, company, or joint-venture of Customer, or other staffing firm performing work for Customer or any client of Customer during the term of the Agreement or within six months of the Termination Date, requests Contract Employee to continue providing services to Customer or client of Customer subsequent to the Termination Date. If any work is performed for Customer during the term of the Agreement or within six months of the Termination Date, it is understood that this work will be performed through Insight Global. This clause may be waived with the written consent of Insight Global and with the payment of a placement fee to Insight Global equal to 20% of Contract Employee’s first year’s salary (or first year total value of contract) by Customer or Contract Employee. After six months of continuous work with Customer this clause may be waived with the written consent of Insight Global, if Insight Global has an agreement with Customer in which Customer is contractually given the right to convert the Contract Employee after six months. Contract Employee understands that he/she is not allowed to leave the employment of Insight Global to work for another staffing agency for Customer for a period of 180 days subsequent to Contract Employee’s termination of employment with Insight Global.
