An employment contract sets the terms of the employment relationship between you and your staff. Employees see contracts as a way to safeguard their rights. For employers like yourself, they are tools to set expectations and protect your business.
Knowing how to properly draft an employment contract is critical. But writing them up isn’t easy. And getting any part of it wrong leaves you open to a huge list of claims from employees. This is where Peninsula can help. Our experts are here 24/7 to support you in writing bulletproof contracts and securing your business for the future.
Employment contracts do a lot of the heavy lifting to protect your business. While there are countless reasons to use them, there are three reasons that every employer should keep top of mind.
Peninsula’s experts can write tailored contracts so you can focus on running your business. Contracts are heavily scrutinized, and any ambiguity is interpreted in the worker’s favour.
We offer you 24/7 support, advice, and update your contracts to ensure you are always compliant.
Without a contract in place, common law sets the floor for what you have to offer your staff. These rights cannot be waived by any contract. It is critical employers have tailored contracts meeting provincial standards.
Doing so guarantees your business is compliant and your contracts are valid.
Ensure your contract includes:
Yes, you can. Your workers will still be entitled to the minimum standards set out in your province.
Yes, you can. Legislation, roles, and duties often change meaning you must also update your contracts.
Yes, they are. Employment contracts protect your business and ensure you are staying compliant.
