Question 1

What does a custom Employment Agreement include?

Accepted Answer

Your custom Employment Agreement will include:

• Role and duties clearly defined
• Compensation, benefits, and review cycles
• Working hours, location, and probation period
• Robust IP assignment and confidentiality provisions
• Conflict of interest and outside activities clauses
• Appropriate restrictive covenants (non-compete/non-solicit where enforceable)
• Fair termination and severance provisions
• Governing law and dispute resolution

Each section is tailored specifically to your business needs and the employee's role, ensuring compliance with Canadian employment law.

Question 2

How long does it take to receive my custom Employment Agreement?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is 3 business days from when we receive your completed questionnaire. We offer express delivery (1 business day) for an additional fee.

After checkout, we'll email you a detailed questionnaire to gather information about the role, compensation, benefits, and your specific requirements. Once you complete it, our Canadian lawyers begin drafting your agreement.

Question 3

Who drafts my Employment Agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement is drafted by licensed Canadian lawyers with extensive experience in employment law. Our legal team understands the nuances of Canadian employment legislation, including provincial variations, and ensures your agreement is enforceable and protective of your business interests.

All drafts are reviewed for legal compliance before delivery to you.

Question 4

What information do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we'll send you an AI-powered questionnaire that asks about:

• Employee's role, title, and key responsibilities
• Compensation structure (salary, bonuses, equity)
• Benefits package and vacation entitlement
• Working hours, location, and remote work policies
• Probation period requirements
• IP and confidentiality needs
• Any restrictive covenants you want to include
• Termination and severance preferences

The questionnaire is designed to be comprehensive yet easy to complete, typically taking 15-20 minutes.

Question 5

Are revisions included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we include one round of revisions at no additional cost. After receiving your draft, you can request changes to ensure the agreement perfectly matches your needs.

If you need additional revisions beyond the first round, we're happy to accommodate for a nominal fee.

Question 6

Can I speak with a Canadian lawyer about my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While the initial drafting service doesn't include a consultation, you can add a 30-minute or 60-minute consultation with one of our Canadian lawyers at checkout or any time during the process.

Many clients find this helpful for discussing specific clauses, understanding enforceability of restrictive covenants, or getting advice on implementation.

Question 7

What makes this different from a template?

Accepted Answer

Unlike generic templates, your agreement is custom-drafted by a licensed Canadian lawyer based on your specific situation:

• Tailored to your industry and the employee's role
• Reflects your actual compensation and benefits structure
• Includes appropriate restrictive covenants for your jurisdiction
• Written in plain English while maintaining legal precision
• Reviewed for current compliance with Canadian employment law
• Includes one round of revisions to get it exactly right

Templates can't account for the nuances of your business or recent changes in employment law.

Question 8

Can you include non-compete and non-solicit clauses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where appropriate and enforceable under Canadian law. The enforceability of restrictive covenants varies by province and depends on factors like the employee's role, industry, and seniority.

Our Canadian lawyers will include restrictive covenants that are appropriately tailored to be enforceable, protecting your legitimate business interests without being unreasonably broad. We'll ensure they meet the legal requirements in your jurisdiction.

Question 9

Does the agreement comply with Canadian employment laws?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our Employment Agreements are drafted to comply with federal Canadian employment standards and, where applicable, provincial employment legislation.

We stay current with employment law developments and ensure your agreement meets all legal requirements, including proper notice periods, vacation entitlements, and termination provisions that comply with employment standards.

Question 10

What if I need to update the agreement in the future?

Accepted Answer

Employment law and your business needs may change over time. When you need to update your agreement for a new employee or to reflect changes in your business, we can provide an updated version at our standard rate.

We maintain records of your previous agreements, making updates faster and more cost-effective.

Question 11

Can the agreement be used for multiple employees?

Accepted Answer

Your custom Employment Agreement is drafted for the specific role and terms you provide. However, you can use it as a base template for similar roles within your company.

If you're hiring multiple employees in different roles, you may need variations to reflect different responsibilities, compensation levels, or restrictive covenants. We can help draft these variations efficiently.

Question 12

What happens after I receive the agreement?

Accepted Answer

Once you approve the final draft:

• You'll receive the agreement in an editable format (Word) and PDF
• We provide implementation guidance on how to present it to your employee
• Both parties sign the agreement (we recommend each party keeps an original)
• The employee should receive a copy for their records
• You should maintain the signed agreement in the employee's file

If you have questions about implementation or need advice on next steps, we're here to help.
