Non-compete clauses that comply with BC common law (reasonable scope, duration, geography)
WorkSafeBC coverage requirements for contractors in British Columbia
GST/HST collection and remittance responsibilities
Proper termination language to avoid constructive dismissal claims under British Columbia law
Intellectual property assignment that complies with federal copyright law
Governing law clause specifying British Columbia courts
While no contract can guarantee CRA won't audit, our agreement includes language that satisfies CRA's 6-factor test for contractor classification. We also include proper invoicing requirements and payment structures that support independent contractor status.
It depends on the industry and province. Our agreement includes clauses requiring contractors to maintain proper insurance and indemnify you for workplace injuries, protecting you from liability.

LawDepot's contractor agreements don't account for British Columbia-specific workers' compensation requirements or CRA's evolving classification tests. Our templates are built on current CRA guidance and British Columbia law. Plus, no subscription — pay once, own forever.
