Alberta-specific non-compete enforceability considerations under common law
WCB Alberta (Workers' Compensation Board) coverage requirements for contractors
GST collection and remittance responsibilities
Proper termination language to avoid constructive dismissal claims under Alberta law
Intellectual property assignment that complies with Alberta and federal copyright law
Alberta's business-friendly legal environment considerations
While no contract can guarantee CRA won't audit, our agreement includes language that satisfies CRA's 6-factor test for contractor classification (control, ownership of tools, chance of profit/loss, integration, etc.). We also include proper invoicing requirements and payment structures that support independent contractor status.
It depends on your industry. Some sectors require contractors to have their own WCB coverage or be added to your policy. Our agreement includes clauses requiring contractors to maintain proper insurance and indemnify you for workplace injuries, protecting you from liability.
Yes, for independent contractors. Alberta follows common law principles for non-competes and generally has a business-friendly approach. However, Alberta courts still require non-competes to be reasonable in scope, duration, and geography. Our template includes properly scoped language that Alberta courts are more likely to uphold.
Yes. If your contractor works in Alberta (even for an out-of-province company), Alberta law applies. Our contract ensures proper classification and includes remote work provisions.
LawDepot's contractor agreements don't account for Alberta-specific WCB requirements or CRA's evolving classification tests. We update weekly to reflect new case law and CRA guidance. Plus, no subscription—pay once, own forever.
