I feel like this sentance is missing a comma or could be rewritten:

"If a past employee breaches a confidentially and noncompetition agreement the past employee may be liable to the business owner, providing the restrictions of the agreement are reasonable."

Yes, I would put a comma after the "if" clause (I would also use "former" rather than "past"). Here is how I would word the sentence: If a former employee breaches a confidentiality and noncompetition agreement, that former employee may be liable to the business owner, provided that the restrictions of the agreement are reasonable.
