Garden leave

"Gardening leave" redirects here. For the charity, see Gardening Leave.

Garden leave (also known as gardening leave) is a period of time during which an employee remains on payroll after leaving a job, but does not have any responsibilities, and is typically not allowed on company premises. Originally found in executive-level employment contracts, it has become common in the high-tech industries.

Garden leave often overlaps with or supplements non-compete clauses, non-solicit clauses or confidentiality obligations, preventing the employee from taking information or client relationships to a competitor.
