Ontario's Working for Workers Act, 2021 (Bill 27) bans non-compete agreements for most employees. Since October 25, 2021, non-competes are only permitted for C-suite executives — specifically, the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and similar roles. For all other employees in Toronto, non-competes are void and unenforceable.
For Toronto's thriving tech sector, financial services district (Bay Street), healthcare systems, and media companies, this means that NDAs, non-solicitation agreements, and intellectual property assignment clauses are the primary tools for protecting proprietary business information. Non-solicitation agreements remain enforceable for employees at all levels when they are 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, all with proper governing law clauses designating Ontario jurisdiction.

FAQ
Only for C-suite executives (CEO, CFO, COO, etc.). Ontario's Working for Workers Act bans non-competes for all other employees. Non-solicitation agreements and NDAs remain enforceable for workers at all levels.
The exception covers executive officers such as the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Legal Officer. The title alone is not determinative — the role must genuinely involve executive-level responsibilities.
Non-solicitation agreements (preventing solicitation of specific clients or co-workers), NDAs, trade secret agreements, and IP assignment clauses are all enforceable in Ontario for employees at all levels.
Yes. Non-solicitation agreements remain fully enforceable in Ontario when they are reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area. They are distinct from non-competes and are not affected by the Working for Workers Act ban.
The Working for Workers Act applies to employees covered by the Employment Standards Act. Independent contractors may not be covered, but misclassification risks should be considered. The enforceability of non-competes for genuine independent contractors depends on common law reasonableness standards.
