"Garden leave" refers to the situation in which an employer instructs an employee not to come into work for the duration of the notice period. It is most commonly used when the employee has given notice of resignation to go to work for a business that is in competition with the employer.

Strictly speaking, garden leave can be imposed at any point during the course of employment, but it is usually introduced for all or part of an employee's notice period.
Courts generally find that reasonable notice or garden leave provisions and other restrictions are enforceable when supported by a legitimate business interest, such as protecting and cementing customer relationships, maintaining the confidentiality of proprietary information, or both.
Yes, garden leave is legal. Several states have outlawed non-compete agreements, which restrict employees from working for another company after they leave.
