Hiring & onboarding

Offers and the agreements that start the relationship.

Offer of employment letter (Ontario)
Low risk

A bilingual Ontario offer of employment: role, pay, hours, benefits, vacation, probation, conditions, governing terms and acceptance.

Employment agreement (Ontario)
Medium risk

A full indefinite-term Ontario employment contract: hours, pay, benefits, leaves, IP, restrictive covenants, termination, layoff and governing terms.

ON
Independent contractor agreement
High risk

Engages a contractor, not an employee. Misclassification is a leading liability — the real relationship decides status.

ONQCFED
Québec offer letter
Medium risk

An offer letter tuned to Québec: French-language default, LSA terms, and Civil Code framing.

QC
Probationary period review
Medium risk

The end-of-probation assessment and its outcome — confirmed, extended, or ended — recorded while the statutory notice clock is still short.

ONQCFED
Candidate rejection letter
Low risk

A respectful, professional decline sent to an unsuccessful candidate after interview.

ONQCFED
Onboarding package
Low risk

A first-week onboarding bundle: welcome letter, benefits enrollment, IT equipment checklist, statutory holiday calendar, and first-week schedule. French by default in Quebec per the Charter of the French Language.

ONQCFED
Employment changes

Confirming a change to the terms someone already works under.

Promotion & salary adjustment
Medium risk

Confirms a new role, pay, or reporting line — and keeps the existing contract intact rather than silently rewriting it.

ONQCFED
Return from leave confirmation
Medium risk

Confirms the return date and the position being returned to — same role or a comparable one, at no less than the pay the leave started at.

ONQCFED
Leave request form
Low risk

One form for any leave — records the dates, the type, and how to stay in touch, without asking for more than the leave requires.

ONQCFED
Agreements & IP

Confidentiality and restrictive-covenant agreements.

Confidentiality agreement
Medium risk

Protects confidential business, client, and personal information handled during employment.

ONQCFED
Restrictive covenants agreement
High risk

Non-solicitation and (where lawful) non-competition terms. In Ontario, employee non-competes are largely banned.

ONQCFED
Policies & handbook

The standing rules every employee is held to.

Employee handbook (Ontario)
Low risk

The consolidated Ontario guide to how the workplace runs — respect & human rights, hours & pay, leaves, remote work, monitoring, health & safety, confidentiality, privacy, conduct and how employment ends.

ON
Remote & hybrid work policy
Low risk

Sets eligibility, hours, equipment, expenses, data security, and health-and-safety for work away from the office.

ONQCFED
Vacation & leave policy
Low risk

ONQCFED
Code of conduct
Low risk

The baseline behavioural standard — respect, integrity, conflicts of interest, and how concerns are raised.

ONQCFED
Respectful workplace policy
Medium risk

The base policy every jurisdiction Dutiva covers requires — harassment, discrimination and violence, what respect looks like day to day, and how a report is handled. Québec and federal workplaces prescribe further content the document lists for you to add.

ONQCFED
Attendance policy
Medium risk

Sets attendance expectations and how absences are reported — separating absence someone chooses from absence they cannot help.

ONQCFED
Sick leave policy
Medium risk

What sick leave you offer, how to use it, and what evidence you ask for — separate from attendance, which never counts it.

ONQCFED
Expense reimbursement policy
Low risk

Defines eligible expenses, submission timelines, and reimbursement obligations. Sets a company floor that meets or exceeds every province you operate in.

ONQCFED
Policy template
Low risk

A generic policy shell — purpose, scope, and detail sections the Advisor tailors once you describe what the policy should cover. Start here when no specific template fits.

ONQCFED
Performance & discipline

Warnings, improvement plans, and the record of a workplace investigation.

Written warning
Medium risk

Documents a performance or conduct concern, the expected change, and the consequence if it continues.

ONQCFED
Performance improvement plan (PIP)
Medium risk

A structured, time-boxed plan with clear goals, support, and check-ins. Framed as help first, not a paper trail.

ONQCFED

The duty-to-accommodate process, from request to documented plan.

Accommodation documentation
High risk

Confidential record of functional limitations and the accommodation plan — no diagnosis on file.

ONQCFED
Medical information request letter
High risk

Requests functional-limitation information from a treating provider to support an accommodation — never a diagnosis.

Medium risk

The form you issue when an employee asks for an adjustment — collects functional limitations and what they need, never a diagnosis.

Accommodation request response
High risk

The written answer to an accommodation request — what was asked, what was considered, what was decided, and when it will be reviewed.

ONQCFED
Accommodation plan
Medium risk

The working agreement once an accommodation is in place — the measures, who is responsible for each, and when it gets reviewed.

ONQCFED
Undue hardship assessment
High risk

The internal worksheet behind a refusal — every option canvassed, the evidence for each factor, and the conclusion that follows from them.

ONQCFED
Termination & offboarding

The highest-risk documents — review before use.

Termination letter (without cause)
High risk

Ends employment without cause. High exposure — confirm notice, severance, and benefit continuation before sending.

ONQCFED
Resignation acceptance
Low risk

Confirms an employee’s resignation, the last day, and final-pay logistics — closing the record cleanly.

ONQCFED
Group termination notice
High risk

For terminating 50+ employees in a short window. Triggers enhanced notice and government-notification duties.

ONQCFED
Full & final release
High risk

Release of claims provided in exchange for enhanced termination payment. Requires independent legal advice for the employee before signing.

ON
Offboarding checklist
Low risk

Final-pay, benefits, equipment, and ROE checklist for an employee’s last day.

Record of Employment preparation
Medium risk

Assembles what the ROE needs before you file it, and records the reason code you used — the field that decides the EI claim.

Reference letter
Medium risk

Confirms role, dates and — where you choose to give one — an assessment you can stand behind, written to one consistent standard.

ONQCFED
Temporary layoff notice
High risk

Notice of an individual temporary layoff — start date, expected recall, what continues, and the point at which it becomes a termination.

ONQCFED
Wellbeing

Voluntary, employee-owned plans for staying well at work. They request no diagnosis, and they are not accommodations.

Wellness action plan
Medium risk

An employee’s own plan for staying well at work — what helps, what the early signs are, and what they want their manager to do. Voluntary, issued blank for the employee to fill in, and no diagnosis is ever requested.

ONQCFED
Compensation

What someone is paid and what else they receive, stated without creating an entitlement that was not already there.

Total compensation summary
Medium risk

What someone receives beyond salary, separated honestly — pay, benefits provided, and employer contributions — without one inflated total.

ONQCFED
Salary review letter
Medium risk

The outcome of a pay review, including the year there is no increase — said in the first line, with the actual reason and what would change it.

ONQCFED
Internal communications

What the rest of the team is told, and when — announcements, memos and notices.

Layoff announcement script
Medium risk

What to say to the team, in what order — for the meeting after the individual conversations, never instead of them.

Medium risk

The written follow-up to the meeting — the new structure, what is not changing, and when people will hear more.

Employee FAQ — layoff & restructuring
Medium risk

The questions the team will actually ask, with answers agreed in advance — including the ones you are not going to answer.

ONQCFED
Policy introduction memo
Medium risk

Introduces a new policy — what it is for, what changes in practice, and what to do if it affects something you already had.

ONQCFED
Policy acknowledgement form
Low risk

One signature covering a set of policies rolled out together — for onboarding, an annual refresh, or a policy issued outside the studio.

ONQCFED
Policy update notification
Medium risk

Tells people what actually changed in a policy they already have — what moved, what did not, and whether they need to acknowledge it again.

ONQCFED
Investigation notice to a participant
High risk

Tells a respondent or a witness what is happening, what is being asked of them, and what protections apply — before the interview, not after.

ONQCFED
Departure announcement
Medium risk

Tells the team someone has left — the date, the cover, the contact. Written so that a resignation and a dismissal read the same way.

ONQCFED
Incident communication
Medium risk

What to tell staff after a serious incident — what is known, what is being done, what to do now, and nothing that has to be retracted tomorrow.
