Workplace Binder kits are general information and sample wording for small employers in Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
They are not legal advice and they do not replace a lawyer.
- We are not a law firm. The kits were written by a global HR specialist. They were not written or reviewed by a lawyer or a law firm.
- Every workplace is different. A kit cannot know your contracts, your history with an employee, your industry's extra rules or what a court might decide in your case.
- No promise of a result. Using a kit does not promise that you meet the law, pass an inspection or audit, win a bid, or avoid a claim.
- Laws change. Each Law box shows the date we last checked the rule (10 November 2026 for version 1.0) and links to the official source. Check the Law boxes before you rely on them, and re-check them every 6 months.
- Minimums, not limits. A Law box states the legal minimum. You may give employees more than it says. Never less.
- Not for everyone. The kits are not written for federally regulated employers, unionized workplaces, businesses in Quebec, or industries with their own rules unless you add those rules. Each kit lists who it is not for on its first pages.
When to call a lawyer
Each kit has a "when to call a lawyer" section. As a rule of thumb, get legal advice before you:
- dismiss someone for cause, or dismiss someone who is on leave, pregnant, injured, or has recently complained;
- sign or change an employment agreement, a non-compete clause or a severance agreement;
- respond to a human rights complaint, a lawsuit or a demand letter;
- make a big change to someone's pay, hours, duties or place of work.
Free government contact centres for employment standards and workplace safety in your province are listed in each kit. They can explain the rules, but they do not give legal advice either.
