Frequently Asked Questions

https://peninsulacanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Peninsula-Red-Logo-e1623249175842.png
01
What is HR and health & safety outsourcing?
HR and health & safety functions can be complex and time-consuming. And hiring an in-house team or a lawyer to help can be expensive, especially for a small business. By outsourcing your needs to Peninsula you’ll keep your business lean and efficient, all the while ensuring you have the support you need to stay compliant and on the path to success.
02
What kinds of advice do you provide?

Peninsula can offer advice and support on all aspects of your provincial Employment Standards Act or Code and how they apply to your business. This covers most aspects of employment relations and workplace health & safety and the compliance requirements that come with each. This can include, but is not limited to:

  • Workplace policies
  • Procedures and documentation
  • Employee pay rates and entitlements
  • Unfair dismissal
  • Performance management
  • Employee contracts
  • Health and safety site-inspections
  • Accidents, incidents, and inspections
  • Temporary lay-offs & work refusal policies
  • And so much more
03
How would you summarize the Peninsula service?

The main aspects of our service can be broken down into 4 pillars:

  • 24/7 advice via telephone
  • Tailored employment contracts and handbooks
  • HR and health & safety software apps
  • Peninsula Protect – Our service promise
04
How is your service better than hiring a lawyer or my own HR team?

An employment lawyer can cost you $1000s per document change, and hiring an in-house HR professional will be the same, if not more, per month in payroll alone. Our service costs a fraction of that, and with Peninsula, you’re getting a full team of HR and health & safety experts, not just one.

05
How can you manage my HR or health & safety without being on-site?

We focus on getting to know your business, your workers, and yourself. This helps us integrate into your business and learn about it as if we work there. It also means that it won’t matter whether we’re talking in person, on the phone, by video conference or whether we’re e-mailing you. Since we’ve taken the time to learn your business, we can then focus on providing tailored solutions and documentation catered to your specific needs.

06
What kinds of software do you have to help me as a business owner?
We provide a full suite of software and apps to make the daily lives of small business owners easier and more efficient. These include:
BrightHR – Our online HR software
BrightSafe – Our online health & safety software
Blip – Punch in or out via an app
Pop – Simple expense tracking app
BrightSafe On The Go – An app that lets you manage health & safety tasks wherever you are
07
Where can I access my company's HR and health & safety documentation?

You’ll be able to access all of your documents on BrightHR. You’ll have unlimited secure cloud-based storage for every file. This way you won’t have to waste time searching through drawers and folders, instead you can find it online on BrightHR and download it in seconds.

08
What happens if legislation changes and makes my documentation outdated?

Unlike the service of employment lawyers, who bill you for each use and document change, Peninsula proactively informs and updates our clients when there is a change to legislation. And we ensure that our clients’ documentation is always up to standard.

09
Are there additional services for employers?

In addition to our 24/7 employer advice Line, documentation support, and compliance services, you can also access Peninsula Protect, which gives you legal assistance with related employment disputes or health & safety investigations.

We also have our Face2Face service offering to help you solve the HR problems you don’t have time for. Whether it’s disciplinary & termination meetings or harassment investigations, our consultants will work to understand the issue and prepare a plan of action to ensure positive results.
