Employment Agreement (Ontario)
Ontario employment agreements are the most legally risky documents a business routinely signs. Courts regularly void termination clauses for technical non-compliance with the ESA, exposing employers to common law reasonable notice — often months of salary per year of service. This template walks you through compensation, work arrangements, restrictive covenants, and termination provisions with Ontario-specific guidance throughout.
