Ontario's Working for Workers Act, 2021 bans non-compete agreements for most employees. Since October 25, 2021, non-competes are only permitted for C-suite executives (CEO, CFO, COO, and similar roles). For all other employees in Hamilton, non-competes are void and unenforceable.
For Hamilton's steel manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and life sciences industries, NDAs, non-solicitation agreements, and IP assignment clauses are the primary tools for protecting proprietary information. Non-solicitation agreements remain enforceable for employees at all levels when reasonable in scope.
SignAI generates Ontario-compliant alternatives — including NDAs, non-solicitation agreements, and IP assignment clauses — for non-executive employees, or compliant non-competes for C-suite roles.
