Spot the illegal non-compete, ctd!

Some more tips on helping you spot illegal non-competes hiding in your contract.

This week's video series continues the discussion of how to spot illegal non-competition provisions hiding in your employment contract. This week looks beyond Ontario where non-competes have not been banned by legislation, but there are still strict common law rules that apply. The topics covered this week were:

1. temporal scope limitations;

2. geographic scope limitations;

3. business scope limitations;

4. saving provisions (that try to get around mistakes in the non-compete); and

5. what to do when you spot an illegal non-compete in your agreement.

   
   

You can find more details on each of these points in the descriptions attached to these videos.

Next week, I'm turning to unilateral wage deductions by your employer.
