Employment and Labour Law Editing and Proofreading Services
Employment documents are written on a good day and read on a bad one. The contract signed at an offer meeting is examined line by line years later by a former employee's counsel, and courts have struck termination clauses over a single ambiguous phrase — handing an employer common-law notice it thought it had contracted out of. Few documents are punished so precisely for imprecision.
We edit employment agreements and offer letters, termination and severance letters, workplace policies and handbooks, restrictive covenants, collective agreements, grievance and arbitration submissions, human rights and harassment complaint responses, investigation reports, and performance documentation. Our editors check that defined terms hold, that policy documents do not contradict the contracts they sit beside, and that dates, entitlements, and notice periods agree everywhere they appear.
Termination letters get special care. They are read in distress and then in litigation, and the difference between a letter that closes a matter and one that starts a claim is often tone and clarity rather than content.
Everything is treated confidentially, including active investigations. We do not advise on enforceability — we make sure your document says one thing rather than two.
