Non-compete Clause Ban in Ontario - Employment Lawyer on New Legislation

The Government of Ontario has proposed legislation that would ban non-compete clauses in employment contracts. Employers use them to prevent a former employee from crossing the street and working for a competitor or similar business in the same region.

Employment lawyer Lior Samfiru, co-founding partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, talked about this on the Work: What's Next segment on Global News.

• Proposed legislation banning non-compete clauses in Ontario employees' contracts is a good idea. Most of those clauses are unenforceable anyway. Employers still have other options to protect themselves when former workers seek employment with the competition.

I was forced to sign a non-compete clause. I felt like a slave. We need freedom to make a living not slavery to an employer. - TAV ♥️
