## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### Restrictive covenants run on several clocks at once

A single separation rarely produces a single restriction. The non-compete, the non-solicit of clients, the non-solicit of employees, and any garden-leave period are usually distinct obligations, each with its own duration and its own start point. Some run from the termination date, others from the last day of garden leave, and the durations frequently differ. Treating the package as one block with one end date is how both sides get it wrong: an employer relaxes enforcement too early, or a departing employee waits longer than the law actually requires. Tracking each covenant's expiry as a separate, dated item is the only way to know exactly when each restriction lifts.

### Garden leave and tolling move the real end date

Two structural features quietly shift when a non-compete actually ends. Garden leave keeps someone employed but sidelined through their notice period, and many agreements set the restriction to start only after garden leave finishes, pushing the true expiry months past the resignation. Tolling does the opposite kind of damage: if the restriction is breached, the clock pauses and the period extends by the breach's length, so a nominal end date can quietly slide later. Both mean the date on the page is a starting assumption, not a guarantee. A reminder that captures the garden-leave end and flags any tolling clause keeps the calculation honest instead of optimistic.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the non-compete expiration reminder work?
  **A:** Upload your non-compete, employment, or separation agreement as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find when the non-compete restriction period ends, the garden-leave end, the non-solicit expiry, and any tolling provisions, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically with email reminders, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** What will the tool find in my non-compete?
  **A:** It surfaces the date the non-compete restriction period ends, the garden-leave end date, the non-solicit expiry, and any tolling clause that can pause the clock. Each item comes with the source clause from your agreement so you can verify before you schedule anything.

- **Q:** Why do the non-compete and non-solicit expire on different dates?
  **A:** Restrictive covenants are usually drafted as separate obligations with their own durations. A non-compete might run 12 months from termination while a non-solicit of clients or employees runs 18 or 24. The tool extracts each duration and anchors it to the termination date, so you see the distinct date each restriction actually lifts rather than assuming they all end together.

- **Q:** What is tolling and why does it matter for the end date?
  **A:** Many non-competes include a tolling clause: if the person breaches the restriction, the clock pauses and the restriction period is extended by the length of the breach. That means the nominal end date isn't always the real one. The tool flags any tolling provision so you know the expiry date can move, and you can confirm the true end before relying on it.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your agreement, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself if that's all you need.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your contract is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
