Question

I work in the corporate office of a manufacturing company. I signed a Conflict of Interest contract when I was hired. Would it be a breach of contract if I accepted a position with one of our customers? They are not competition, we sell them material.

Thank you.

Answer

Without seeing what you signed, it is impossible to tell you what could or could not breach it. You should show it to an employment attorney to confirm. My suspicion is that this would violate that agreement but I can't confirm without seeing it.
