Ontario’s Proposed Non-Compete Legislation Empowers Workers - But It Should Go Further

"Ontario’s Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development, Monte McNaughton, has done Ontario a huge favour by proposing to abolish noncompete agreements. The proposed amendments to the province’s Employment Standards Act will make Ontario workers richer, the economy more prosperous, and the province more innovative. But the bill should go even further. In its current form, the bill adds a powerful amendment to the Employment Standards Act. The new provision states: 'No employer shall enter into an employment contract or other agreement with an employee that is, or that includes, a noncompete agreement.' It states that such agreements are void."

"This provision will unshackle labour and greatly enhance employee bargaining power, in particular vis-à-vis powerful employers in the tech and finance sectors. It also resolves a systematic weakness of our courts, which have largely done a terrible job at reigning in abusive non-competes. That’s because the courts review such agreements by assessing the 'reasonableness' of each one. This agreement-by-agreement analysis has invited widespread abuse of non-competes by employers, since every single agreement cannot be litigated (and litigation is expensive for employees)."

"Yet the bill is not perfect. It should be strengthened in a few critical ways."

"[T]he bill has an education problem. Employees gaining new employment rights should be informed about those rights."

"[T]he bill needs to be expanded to include not just non-competes but all contractual restrictions that restrain employees from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind (collectively known as restraints on trade)."

"[T]he bill should be reformed to void non-solicitation agreements that prevent departing employees from “poaching” customers or other employees."

"[T]he bill should include penalties for employers who knowingly require employees sign non-competes."
