Canadian Employment Agreements & Employee Handbooks for US Companies

Currently operating or hiring in Canada? Meet your Canadian HR Partner.

Hiring or already operating in Canada? US employment documents will not protect you here. Canadian employment laws are different, and using the wrong contracts or policies can lead to expensive compliance issues and high termination notice liabilities.

We help US companies create province‑specific employment agreements and employee handbooks that protect your business, set clear expectations, and give you confidence when hiring and managing staff in Canada.

Already operating in Canada with existing employees?

For US entities that already have Canadian staff, we create compliant employment agreements and employee handbooks, then guide you through rolling them out to current employees. Getting sign-off from existing staff is more complex than for new hires, but we make the process smooth and efficient. The result is proper documentation, reduced liability, and clear expectations across your workforce.

US Companies Launching in Canada

New to Canada? Welcome! We create customized Canadian employment agreements and a complete employee handbook so your business is protected from day one. Build a solid HR foundation that manages your most valuable asset: employees. Get it right from the start and avoid compliance problems, costly termination liabilities, and inconsistent side deals that you'll have to untangle down the road.

HR Concierge Support

You can also delegate registration with Canadian regulatory agencies to us as your proxy. Think of us as your Canadian HR concierge and ongoing HR support service.

We can set up your HR software.

Take it to the next level with our HR software implementation services so you can manage your workforce your way, not the way a local office decides. You stay in control, gain full insight, and pay as low as $10/mo/employee. Far more efficient and affordable than managing HR through documents and email.

How much can you save?

A quick and simple example: Real savings come from capping liability. One US client learned the hard way: At the time of calculation, their termination liability was almost $1 million, when it could have been capped at $100k if proper employment agreements had been in place from day one.

A note on Quebec

We do not support Quebec. Here’s why:

  • All employment materials in Quebec must be provided in French.

  • Quebec employment laws differ significantly from other provinces.

  • The cost and complexity make it unfeasible for most US clients.

Many companies choose to exclude Quebec at launch and revisit it later, once their Canadian foundation is set.
