Old non-compete agreements are still valid in Ontario
The Working for Workers Act, 2021 (the “WWA”) passed into law on December 2, 2021. One of its more notable aspects was to ban the use of non-compete agreements in Ontario. Non-compete agreements restrict how workers may conduct themselves both during and after employment. Most importantly, they can prevent employees from working at competing businesses for long periods (often for several months or years) after the employee’s job has ended.

Terminating an employee is tough. The conversation in which the employer provides the employee with notice of termination can be awkward. Given how difficult terminations are, for both the employer and the employee, courts hold employers “to an obligation of good faith and fair dealing in the manner of dismissal.”
