Workplace Policies & Procedures

Workplace policies and procedures are the formal rules and guidelines that set out expectations of behaviour and performance in the work environment.

Workplace Policies & Procedures

They define workplace harassment policies, leave of absence policies, workplace violence, sick time policy, hours of work and dress code, among others. All employers are now required to create and maintain workplace policies and procedures manuals and make them available to all employees.

Policies and procedures create a standardized and transparent framework to which both workers, managers and employers are held accountable. They create a level playing field and ensure that all workplace issues are dealt with fairly and consistently from one situation to the next. They can protect employers from worker complaints and help workers pursue the justice that they need.

There is no one-size-fits-all set of workplace policies or procedures. Every company and organization has unique needs. However, workplace procedures and policies must align with governing labour, employment and human rights legislation.

Testimonials

I am grateful to have worked with Kathy Chittley-Young after my dismissal from my job. Kathy is very professional, she was thorough, an effective communicator, and very timely in all her responses and correspondence. During my times of doubt and impatience, Kathy was reassuring and gently encouraged perseverance on my part which in the end worked to my benefit. Additionally, the KCY at Law office was a pleasure to work with and I felt comfortable reaching out anytime with my questions. I would without hesitation recommend the services of Kathy Chittley-Young.

Gabriella PTermination of Employment

I was referred to Kathy Chittley-Young by a business colleague to assist me in handling an employment matter.

Kathy was very clear in her explanations of the law as it applied to my case and in explaining my options. Ultimately it was my decision on the direction we took. Follow up was complete, timely and very thorough.

Kathy is a superb writer and I was very impressed at how she was able to sort through the ‘stuff’ and get to the point with the other side. We were successful in securing a reasonable severance/exit package.

I would highly recommend Kathy as an employment lawyer.

Rosemary CEmployment Law

When I was unexpectedly terminated, I had no idea where to turn. My employer told me the reason was ‘a business decision’ and cited ’restructuring‘. They told me I had been an exemplary employee. So I went and saw Kathy at KCY. She walked me through the contract I had signed with my employer and explained how it related to both ESA and the common law. I proceeded with my case and Kathy and her team worked to obtain a substantially larger settlement for me.

Ron FTermination of Employment

After being wrongfully dismissed from my last position, I did not hesitate to contact KCY at LAW to represent my interests. Throughout the litigation Kathy took the care to closely review the details of my case, educate me on employment law, and explain my options at every stage. Ms. Chittley-Young used a concentrated proactive approach in an effort to expedite proceedings and minimize legal costs.

Jay SWrongful Dismissal

Thank you very much for getting me through a very stressful time. There were a number of times I was willing to give up and throw in the towel but your dedication and willingness to stand up for me was a great sense of strength for me. The process did fully overwhelm me. I was stymied that anyone would have to go through this ordeal. You certainly made things a lot easier to deal with.

Tom TEmployment Law

You and your law team are outstanding professionals. I learned a great deal from you during this process. I’m very pleased with the positive outcome!

Cheryl S Termination of Employment

Kathy’s ability to clearly map out the legal process, act as a true advocate and strategically negotiate the best settlement possible are only a few of the tremendous services KCY at LAW provided. Kathy and her team are always professional and very personable. They are always prepared to listen to your concerns and questions, leaving you with a tremendous sense of confidence and trust in representing your case as well as avoiding costly litigation.

Stephen AEmployment Law

As a previous client, Kathy kindly helped review my employment offer and suggested some important areas to negotiate. My new employer accepted those terms immediately and I am now in a much better position should my employment be terminated without cause. I would recommend Kathy to anyone that needs legal advice or assistance regarding an employment matter. Thank you so much Kathy!
