Checked on official pages, November 2026
Since 25 October 2021 the Employment Standards Act prohibits employers from entering into a non-compete agreement with an employee, with two exceptions: the sale of a business where the seller becomes an employee of the purchaser, and executives (CEO, president, CAO, COO, CFO, CIO, chief legal officer, chief HR officer, chief corporate development officer, or any other chief executive position). Agreements made before that date are not affected. Source

The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: Pricing explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; How it works covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
