HI There,

I’ve recently taken over as HR manager at a company that works in 3 different provinces and 2 different states. My struggle is do I create policies that are specific to each different jurisdiction? Or create 1 policy that captures all details that differ from province to province?

Hello! You should create policies that are specific to each jurisdiction, as laws and employment terms can vary from province to province, let alone province to state. Thankfully, HRInsider posts policies for all provinces when certain subjects are concerned, easily found through our search bar. It is always a best practice to ensure each employee is given documents and contracts that regard the jurisdiction wherein they live and work – their place of work is where their rights lie, and although it is a tedious task, you must respect that as an HR manager. Best of luck!
