Health and SafetyDo you have employees in Ontario ?

Are they members of a union ?How do you negotiate with the union ?

It is a good idea to have employee contracts even if you only have one or two employees.

When questions come up both you and the employee have something that you can look at and say 'Yes' - this is what we agreed upon.

Everyone is more comfortable when they don't have unexpected surprises.

Even if the employee contract only has the minimums according to the Ontario Employment Standards - it is always helpful to 'have it in writing'.
