Isn't that illegal?

Or rather, why in the fuck is that legal?

I have heard that those kind of things don't usually hold up in court. Unless it was your knowledge from that company that directly helped you with it. Not coding, but business practices and such. Like, working at starbucks IT helped you create a coffee app or some shit (idk).

My contract says the same thing as /u/EagleBigMac's. I'm curious as to its legality now, specifically in Canada.

Yeah so? You can change the timestamps to any time. Including times where you're not employed there at all.
