HR Toolkits and Templates

HR paperwork for the moment you're actually in.

Province-specific toolkits and templates for owners, managers and HR people, written by a Certified Human Resources Executive and current to November 2026. Download now, fill in the blanks, and get back to running the place.

Free templates are fine, until they're not.

The internet is full of free HR templates. Most of them are American, plenty are years out of date, and none of them know which province you're in. Ours do.

How it works

Three steps. No subscription.

  1. 1

    Pick your kit and your province.Toolkits come in 9 provincial versions. Templates work anywhere in Canada outside Quebec.

  2. 2

    Check out securely.Pay by card through Stripe. The right GST or HST is added for your province.

  3. 3

    Download and get going.Your files arrive by email in minutes: editable Word templates plus branded PDF guides. The link is good for 14 days, so save them somewhere safe.

Every purchase includes

  • A licence for your whole organization (one organization, as many uses as you need).
  • Free updates for 12 months if the law behind your kit changes.
  • Word files that open in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
  • A real person behind them. Questions about the files? Email daniel@workadvised.com.

Small print, said nicely

These are templates and guidance, not legal advice. For a high-stakes situation (alleging cause, a human rights complaint, a big release), have an employment lawyer look it over, or book an hour with us. Because the files download instantly, all sales are final.

Full details: licence and terms.

Toolkits

Toolkits: everything for one big moment

Each toolkit has a Start Here guide with your province's rules, the editable templates you'll need, and a one-page checklist so nothing gets missed. Pick your province before you check out.

Termination Toolkit

Someone has to go.

It's the meeting nobody wants to run. This kit walks you through it, from working out what you owe to the words you'll say in the room, so it's done fairly, legally and with a lot less dread.

  • Termination letter
  • Full and final release
  • Payout worksheet
  • Meeting script
  • Termination-day checklist

Workplace Harassment Toolkit

A complaint just landed on your desk. Or you'd rather be ready before one does.

Most provinces require a written harassment policy, and every complaint needs a fair, prompt investigation. This kit gives you both, in the order you'll need them.

  • Complaint form
  • Investigation checklist and plan

Hiring & Pay Transparency Kit

You need to hire, and the rules for job ads just changed.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they buy

Is this legal advice?

No. These are professionally written templates and plain-language guidance, current to November 2026. For anything high-stakes, like alleging just cause or settling a complaint, have an employment lawyer review your final version, or book an hour with us first.

Which provinces are covered?

Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Quebec's employment law and language rules are different enough that it deserves its own kit, so it isn't included. The territories aren't covered yet either.

We have staff in two provinces. Which version do I buy?

Employment law follows where the employee works, so you need the version for each province. Email us and we'll sort out a fair price for the second one.

What happens when the law changes?

For 12 months after you buy, if a law behind your kit changes, we'll email you the updated version for free.

Can I use them at more than one location?

Yes. The licence covers your whole organization, every location and every manager.

I'm an HR consultant. Can I use these with my clients?

Not on the standard licence, which covers one organization. Get in touch about a consultant licence. Get in touch

Will they work on a Mac or in Google Docs?

Yes. The templates are Word files (.docx) and open in Word, Google Docs or Pages. The guides are PDFs.

Can I get a refund?

The files download instantly, so sales are final. If a file won't open or something's wrong with it, email us and we'll make it right.

Is checkout secure?

Yes. Payment runs through Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

What if I'd rather someone just handled it?

That's what we do. Book an hour at $225, or look at our monthly plans. A toolkit is a great place to start, and we're here when you outgrow it. See our services
