    Hi,
    When an employee is hired, we sign a contract stating that we will be governed by the “so and so’s Administration Manual and Personnel Policy.” Our employer would like to develop a new Admin Manual & Personnel Policy to replace the one named in the contract. Would I have to get all employees to sign new contracts with the name of the new Admin Manual & Personnel Policy?

    The current Admin Manual & Personnel Policy belongs to the parent company and we are branching out on our own.
    We are a first nations reserve in Quebec

    First of all, sorry for taking so long to get back to u. I somehow missed your Q when I last did a mail check.
    Instead of re-executing all of your employment contracts, I’d suggest having each employee sign an acknowledgement indicating that they’re read and understood the new Policy. Might be a good idea to distribute a memo explaining the significant changes before getting them to sign. Also suggest you add language to the part of your employment contract template in which employee agrees to be governed by the Policy “including such amendments made by the Company from time to time at its sole discretion,” to cover yourself for future changes. Hope that helps. Glenn
