ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode of Tech Takes, guest host David Terlizzi and ProLink Insurance practice leader Allison MacLennan explore the growing trend of moonlighting among Ontario's engineering technicians and technologists, and the risks that can come along with it.

While economic uncertainty drives many to take on side work, often starting as simple favours for neighbours or small businesses, Allison warns that good intentions won't shield you from unexpected professional liability claims.

Tune in to learn the hidden risks of moonlighting and the essential strategies you need to protect yourself.
