Van Dale says:
(1) '(contract / agreement in) restraint of trade'
[met betrekking tot werk TIJDENS de overeenkomst]
(2) 'competition clause'
[met betrekking tot werk NA de overeenkomst]
However, my question is this: what if it is both DURING and AFTER.
I.e.,
'Werkneemster is zonder voorafgaande schriftelijke toestemming van werkgever niet toegestaan tijdens het dienstverband, alsmede gedurende 12 maanden na het einde daarvan, op enigerlei wijze werkzaam te zijn (...)'
Any suggestions would be more than welcome.

competition clause
Simpler than non-competition clause. The clause defines what competetion, if any, is allowed and how.
