We thought about this years ago when we wanted to hire Dads companion, it would have cost us thousands to do it. Then the liability, workers comp,, you name it. And she could no longer work for the agency.
None compete clause is what it is called. And your agency probably has it. For your client to do what they want to do is stealing you away from your employer. And I will bet the contract your client signed says if they do this the agency can sue.
