Kassandra Miles · Answer 2

A) Yes, the employment contract has been breached, but the non-competition agreement has not been breached.

Explanation:

Xuechen signed a three year employment contract which she breached after a short time by quitting her job. The non competition agreement that she signed required her not to work as a chef for another restaurant, but since she is working as a manager, then she didn't breach that contract.
