That’s why employment standards laws allow employers to hire interns without paying them compensation. But the fact that interns can work for free doesn’t mean they don’t have rights. Employers that don’t respect these rights put themselves at risk of liability. Taking on even unpaid interns can also put a company’s proprietary information, intellectual property and other key assets at risk . As with paid employees, the best way to guard against these risks is to enter into a written agreement setting out the specific terms of the internship. Here’s a template unpaid internship agreement that you can adapt for your own use .  \nUNPAID INTERNSHIP AGREEMENT  \nThis Internship Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on   (the“Effective Date”), by and between ABC Company, with an address of   (“Company”) and Iga Lerner, with an address of   , (“Intern”), individually referred to as “Party” and collectively as “the Parties .”  \nWHEREAS, Intern desires an internship to gain valuable knowledge, experience, education, and training in Company’s industry;  \nWHEREAS, Company is willing to grant Intern such an internship;  \nNOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, in consideration of the mutual promises, conditions and covenants contained herein, hereby agree as follows:  \n1.
