HR Policy and Employee Handbook
The written policies Ontario requires, in one handbook people actually read, rather than six documents nobody can find.
What written HR policies does an Ontario employer need?
Every Ontario employer needs written workplace violence and harassment policies with supporting programs, reviewed at least annually, under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Employers with 25 or more employees also need written policies on disconnecting from work and on electronic monitoring. Beyond the statutory minimum, the policies that prevent disputes are the ones covering attendance, discipline, leave and acceptable use.
What the engagement covers
- Workplace violence and harassment policy and program
- Disconnecting from work and electronic monitoring policies where required
- Attendance, discipline, leave and conduct policies
- A single handbook, with an acknowledgement page you can produce later
Who this is for
Employers with no handbook, or one written years ago and never reviewed against current law.
