HR Playbook 2026: Practical HR Templates for Employers

If you’re an employer, you already know this: HR mistakes are expensive. Whether it’s a poorly drafted employment agreement, a misclassified contractor, or a termination handled the wrong way — small issues can quickly turn into legal problems. That’s exactly why I created the HR Playbook (2026 Edition).

What Is the HR Playbook?

The HR Playbook is a practical, lawyer-drafted toolkit designed specifically for Ontario employers. It includes the core documents, templates, and guidance you need to hire properly, manage employees effectively, and terminate with confidence.

What’s Included? The Playbook is divided into three key stages of the employment relationship: (i) Hiring & Onboarding, (ii) Managing Employees, and (iii) Termination & Exit.


The Ontario HR Playbook (2026) is a downloadable set of employment law templates for Ontario employers, including termination letters, ESA-compliant policies, and HR best practices.
