HR Policies & Compliance

FocusHR establishes the Human Resources framework essential for any business. This includes creating customized HR policies that speak to your culture whileensuring compliance with legislation and common law. It also includes creating customized HR compliance programs that implement the policies.

Companies operating in the US, Canada, or within both countries are required by law to document certain policies and make them available to employees. For example, Canadian companies must follow provincial Employment Standards legislation regulating employment terms such as paid vacation, wages, hours of work, overtime and leaves of absence. Provincial Health & Safety acts regulate health, wellbeing and safety standards. If you operate in Ontario, you must adhere to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act (AODA) ensuring all Ontarians have fair and equitable access to programs and services and to improve opportunities for persons with disabilities.

Non-compliance can result in hefty fines. Our expertise lies in knowing which policies and programs are required and our ability to develop these policies with your culture at the forefront while adhering to best practices.

If you’re a US company expanding operations into Canada or already have operations in Canada, FocusHR can offer you HR leadership and support. With HR experience in both countries, we are well equipped to help you comply with laws and practices and provide valuable guidance.

Whether you’re a small business just getting started or a mid-sized firm looking to expand, we adjust to your company’s HR needs. To meet your legal obligations FocusHR will assist with:

• Creating policies or an Employee Handbook that aligns with your culture

• Developing and creating required HR programs like Health & Safety, Workplace Harassment and Workplace Violence
