You get a lot of this up here in Canada. Companies hire you as a contractor, but prohibit you from working other roles.



They can’t prohibit you from working other roles. That’s the whole point of being an “independent contractor”.

Most contractors I know take on many clients.


I'm pretty sure this isn't legal in most provinces.


It isn't, but everyone does it, including the federal government.


I can provide another anecdatum to that claim.
