A termination clause and other restrictive agreements that an employer sent to a worker after she accepted an employment offer are unenforceable, a British Columbia court has ruled.
The worker, 31, applied for a job with Thinkific Labs, a developer and operator of a software platform that creates and runs online courses, in 2021. On Aug. 19, Thinkific emailed an offer of employment to her.
The offer of employment included documents outlining the position’s compensation, stock options and vesting, a health spending account, hardware bonus entitlements, a learning and development stipend, a parental leave program, vacation and leave entitlements, work schedule, and information on benefit plans. In addition, the package included information on Thinkific’s policies.
