Garden leave (or Gardening leave) is the term given to a situation whereby an employee is required to serve out a period of resignation notice at home.
During this period the employee continues to receive all salary and benefits but is prohibited from commencing employment with new employers until the gardening leave period has expired.
It is a practice which employers often adopt with employees who have access to confidential information or customers and where they are leaving to join a competitor.
During the gardening leave period the employee’s access to such information or customers is restricted.
