Question 3

Who drafts my Employee Settlement Agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement is drafted by a licensed Canadian lawyer with experience in employment law and dispute resolution. All our lawyers are:

• Licensed to practice in Canada
• Experienced in employment settlements
• Knowledgeable in Canadian employment standards
• Trained in dispute resolution

You're not getting a template—you're getting professional legal drafting tailored to your situation.

Question 4

How do you gather the information needed?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we send you an AI-powered questionnaire that guides you through all the details we need:

• Employee and employer information
• Employment history and termination date
• Settlement amount and payment structure
• Benefit continuation or termination
• Reference letter requirements
• Confidentiality and non-disparagement terms
• Any special circumstances

The questionnaire is intuitive and only takes 10-15 minutes to complete.

Question 5

Are revisions included?

Accepted Answer

Yes! One round of amendments is included with your order. After you review the initial draft, you can request changes to better reflect your needs. For additional revisions or consultation, you can add a solicitor consultation at checkout or afterwards.

Question 6

Can I speak with the lawyer drafting my agreement?

Accepted Answer

A solicitor consultation is available as an optional add-on. This gives you direct access to the lawyer for clarification, questions, or guidance on implementation. Most clients find the questionnaire and one round of revisions sufficient, but the option is there if you need it.

Question 7

What makes this different from a template?

Accepted Answer

Templates are generic and may not cover your specific situation. Our custom agreements are:

• Drafted by a licensed Canadian lawyer
• Tailored to your employment circumstances
• Compliant with current Canadian employment laws
• Specific to your settlement terms and conditions
• Reviewed and finalized based on your feedback

You get a professional, bespoke document—not a fill-in-the-blank form.

Question 8

What specific areas does the settlement agreement cover?

Accepted Answer

Your settlement agreement will address:

• Settlement Amount: Exact payment, timing, and method
• Tax Treatment: Clear statement on deductions and tax obligations
• Releases: Mutual release of all claims and disputes
• Confidentiality: Protection of sensitive business information
• Non-Disparagement: Balanced obligations for both parties
• Property Return: Return of company property, devices, documents
• References: Employment verification and reference letter terms
• Post-Termination: Non-compete, non-solicitation (if applicable)
• Compliance: Wording aligned with Canadian employment standards

Every clause is customized to your situation.

Question 9

How does it ensure compliance with Canadian law?

Accepted Answer

Our lawyers draft each agreement in accordance with:

• Canada Labour Code (federal employees)
• Provincial Employment Standards Acts
• Canadian Human Rights Act
• Common law principles on wrongful dismissal
• Recent case law on settlement enforceability

The releases and acknowledgements are carefully worded to be enforceable while respecting employee rights.

Question 10

What if I need to amend the agreement later?

Accepted Answer

Settlement agreements are typically final once signed. However, if both parties agree to changes before signing, we can assist with amendments.

For post-signing changes, you would need a separate amendment agreement. We can draft that for you as a new order if needed.

Question 11

Do you provide guidance on implementation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your final agreement includes:

• Clear signing instructions
• Guidance on witness requirements (if applicable)
• Recommended delivery methods
• Payment execution notes

If you need additional implementation support, a solicitor consultation can provide detailed guidance on executing the agreement properly.

Question 12

What happens after I receive the draft?

Accepted Answer

After receiving your draft:

1. Review the entire agreement carefully
2. Submit any requested changes or clarifications
3. Receive the finalized version (typically within 1-2 business days)
4. Download your agreement as a Word document and PDF
5. Execute the agreement according to the provided instructions

You'll have full ownership of the document and can use it immediately.
