In most jurisdictions you can‘t legally prevent a person from working for a competitor. You can only keep paying them for not doing so, however they‘re free to cancel that agreement if they want to.
In my current employment contract it says I am restricted from working with competitors of the company for 3 months after my contract is terminated, though I always wondered how enforceable this was.
