My contract for employment at my current job says i cannot go and work for any company within 25miles that does the same line of business as im currently in...of course i have signed and agreed to this contract.
I have now found a couple of jobs that i am interested in...
how enforceable would something like this in my contract be if they wanted to be arsey about it?

For instance it would not be enforcable for Asda to prevent their cashiers moving to Tesco, as that is unduly onerous, but it would be enforcable for staff with access to important business documents to be barred from working for rivals.
i cant imagine them being arsed to persue it, was just wondering.
Clauses specifically preventing working for competitors in a narrowly defined field are valid, particularly if the employee is privy to trade secrets.
Wide clauses are not valid though- as I say, Tesco couldn't prevent its till monkeys from working in the retail sector, for instance.
Are they usually time limited?
