Echo the sentiments above, i had a company try this on me 20yrs ago, and the general consensus of opinion was that you can't stop a man from plying his trade, not that i really needed anyone to tell me that as i figured it was horse poo by myself anyway, the boss was a control freak and ended up loosing his house and business persuing three ex employees that set up on there own.
Could not have happened to a nicer person.
