My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: New Jersey

Company charges $50 per hour for a service
Employee is paid $25 per hour for completing the service

If there is a non-compete agreement in the contract between company and employee, and the employee competes and breaches the contract, the company then sues for money lost. Can the liquidated damages clause state the employee must pay $50 per hour in the event of a breach (for the hours breached) or is it $50 - $25 = $25 per hour? Basically, does liquidated damages factor in employee's pay?
Are you the employer or the employee?
