I am about to sign a new contract with an agency through to an end client, and I have been reading through the clauses.
One of them refers to non-competency, but searching through the internet, I came accross this
One of the fundamental considerations when determining whether or not a person is an employee instead of an independent contractor is by the employer exerting control over the party. Having a party signs a non-compete agreement may be considered a higher level of control and that he or she is likely being treated as an employee rather than an independent contractor.
A finding that a person is an employee instead of an independent contractor can result in a business owing penalties, overtime pay, workers’ compensation premiums, contributions to unemployment insurance programs and benefits.
Thoughts?
