    Canadian software developer here,

    It’s really not. Contracts like that in Canada and US haven’t been used widely in a long time.

      Salaried american software developer here. While some large companies have moonlighting carve outs, by and large the rights to any of your work done outside working hours is at the employer’s discretion.

        My understanding is clauses that own work made outside of work (hours, resources, nonncompeteing scope, ect…) is not enforceable.

        But if you do anything related to the company, then it’s theirs.
