A garden leave clause requires an employee to stay away from the workplace and stop working even though their contract of employment continues. 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.
Garden leave laws will vary across jurisdictions. In general, most garden leave laws require advanced notice of resignation and last between 30 and 90 days. During this time, the employee remains on the company's payroll but are generally relieved of most (if not all) of their duties.
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.
