My former employer is accusing me of trying to steal his customers more than a month after i left his company. He has showed up at my home accusing me of using his accounts, all my user names and passwords for everything was left on the computer i used while employed with him and anyone in the company had access to that information. What are my rights and options?

He's accusing, HE has to PROVE it... let him take you to court---the ONLY way he could DEFINITELY PROVE you stole his customers would be to have FORMER CUSTOMERS come in one by one by one and testify that they gave YOU their business after you left the company.... If this guy was doing better business, he wouldn't have lost any customers REGARDLESS of whether or not you "stole" them...........if you have NOTHING to fear--let him TRY to get you... it will only cost HIM money because when he loses, he must pay YOUR COURT FEES as well as his own and HIS credibility as a businessman will go down the tubes after forcing his former or present clients to testify against YOU....

i could say it relies upon on some issues. First, did she sign any settlement with the wellbeing club concerning non-opposition if she leaves? yet another element to keep in mind is that many gyms manage very own running shoes as autonomous contractrors, so she might have a settlement this is well worth evaluate. ultimately, the place is shopper documents retained? despite if it extremely is on a working laptop or laptop owned by potential of the wellbeing club, case in point, they often could have possession if this strategies. Extracting that strategies could in all probability no longer be ethical. Does she look after relationships with consumers outdoors the wellbeing club? Does she have a modern customer record?

Well, if he can prove you took information from company computers, he can sue you for theft. If you had some kind of non-competition clause in your employment contract or agreement, he can sue you for breach of contract, fraud, and theft.
If you didn't take anything, then you have nothing to worry about. Obviously he had some proof before he came to your home to confront you, so if he has any proof or any legal standing at all, you better get a lawyer.

As long as you don't have any information/data which belongs to your former company and haven't signed a non-compete agreement.. I believe you're free to steal away as many of his customers as you can.

Ask a judge for a restraining order.
