Former employer threatens to sue

[Jasandjules]

The exact terms of the EXISTING contractual clause are important. He need not consider signing anything extra. Well, unless they want to pay him six months salary for example

IF they refuse to pay him wages/commission owed/due, he may consider that a fundamental breach of contract rendering the employment contract void. Thereafter they may have more difficulty enforcing a restraint of trade clause in a contract they have rendered void... Just an additional point.. More details would be needed for more accurate advice.

Does the fact that he is still owed commission affect the non competition clause? Could they have broken the contract by not paying owed commission.

Wasn't there a similar thread not too long ago where BV72 said the secondary signing thing is a waste of time and does nothing to change the original terms? My memory is not what it was though.

Really OP? How are you going to manage that? You can't defame a nickname & there's no information your profile to link your username to your real identity. No-one here knows who you are so your reputation hasn't been damaged.

Just a wild guess here, but I think he was joking....
