Built for Alberta Employers

Alberta employment standards differ in important ways from other provinces, including rules around overtime, hours of work, general holidays, vacation, leaves and termination.

We build those Alberta requirements into your HR documents and advice, then help you apply them in the real world. The goal is not more policy. It’s HR that is compliant, practical and workable for your business.

Who We Help in Alberta

We support small and growing employers throughout Alberta, including Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Fort McMurray and communities across the province, whether they have no internal HR or an established team that needs additional capacity or senior expertise.

We often work with:

You’re already running the business. HR is one more thing competing for your time, usually when something else is more important.

We take care of the contracts, handbook, people issues and HR decisions that need attention. We’re business-minded HR professionals who know how to work with busy owners and executives: practical advice, clear answers, and no unnecessary process or HR theatre.

Canadian HR just got added to your job. The rules are different, they vary by province, and you already have a full plate.

We know the differences between US and Canadian employment practices and support employers operating across multiple Canadian provinces. We handle the contracts, policies, employee issues and provincial requirements, and work within your existing US operation without adding Canadian HR headcount.

We can become your Canadian counterpart, handling provincial requirements, employment agreements, policies, employee issues and multi-province questions without expecting you to become the Canadian expert too. You keep ownership of HR. We make sure the Canadian piece is handled properly.

HR keeps ending up with you because payroll is already yours, and because you’re the one who knows how to make things work. But employee records, time off, onboarding, documents and approvals scattered across spreadsheets and email create work you don’t need.

We clean up the HR processes and can implement HR software for companies with as few as 10 employees, so the system actually saves time instead of just digitizing the mess. You get better visibility, fewer manual tasks and less HR landing back on your plate.

Your team is growing, and so is the HR work. Progressive companies put the right HR foundations in place early, before inconsistent practices and bad habits become expensive to untangle.

We’ve been there and know what successful growth looks like. We help you put strong employment agreements, a practical handbook and scalable HR processes in place now, saving time, money and cleanup later.

It also builds value into the business. Investors and buyers want to see that one of your biggest costs, your workforce, is being managed properly, with clear agreements, policies and consistent practices already in place.

When people aren’t all in one place, spreadsheets, email and informal processes get old fast. Time off, employee records, onboarding, documents and approvals become harder to manage, and more of the follow-up lands back on you.

We’ve been working remotely since 2006, long before it became normal. We know how to make HR work when the team is distributed, from clear agreements and policies to practical processes that don’t depend on everyone being in the same office. We also implement HR software for companies with as few as 10 employees, so employees and managers have one place to go instead of another spreadsheet to maintain.

Real projects. Real clients. Their words.
