In Australia it's quite simple. If you want an enforceable non-compete, you have to pay the person their salary for the duration. I'm personally quite happy to sit on the beach on full pay for a year or two if you guys think it's important!

I'd be on board with this idea. Australia seems to have a very worker supportive law system though.

Got any references for this? I'm in Australia and have never heard this, nor have I seen such clauses in any non-competes that I've signed.

Gardening leave I think it's called.
