Employment Policies

Employment Policies

Canadian employers regularly establish policies to govern the workplace, and often reserve the right to update and amend their policies from time-to-time. 


Common workplace policies include policies addressing:

  • Acceptable uses of technology;

  • Workplace accommodation;

  • Absence management and reporting;

  • Bonus payment calculation;

  • Discipline and other corrective measures;

  • Confidentiality and information management; and

  • Leaves and vacation.


Certain policies may also be required by law. In Ontario, such mandatory policies include:

  • Occupational health and safety policy;

  • Workplace harassment policy;

  • Workplace violence policy;

  • Disconnecting from work policy (for employers with 25 or more employees); and

  • Electronic monitoring policy (for employers with 25 or more employees).
