We’d love to help.

What kinds of questions can I ask?

Q: I have to terminate an employee. What logistics and legalities do I need to be aware of?

Q: I don’t have proper documentation and don’t know how much severance or vacation to pay out.

Q: One of my employees is struggling with mental health and is feeling unsupported. Where do I start?

Q: Can I address my employee’s illness when I discuss their performance issues?

Q: How do I coach an under-performing team member?

Q: Where do I start with a medical leave of absence? Is the onus on the employee to handle that on their end or on us?

Q: Employment standards in my province have mandated a new policy. Can you create this for me? 

Q: One of my employees has been on paternal leave and is ready to come back to work. What are the implications of eliminating their role?
