Every LilyHR account includes full access to our library of HR best practice documents — written for Canadian employers and kept current with provincial and federal requirements.
The HR Resource Library is LilyHR's extensive, growing collection of practical, plain-language guidance documents. Each one is designed to walk you through a specific HR process step by step — what the law requires, what good practice looks like, and what templates or checklists you'll need along the way.
The documents below are available exclusively to logged-in LilyHR users. Creating an account is free and only takes a minute — you'll also get unlimited access to the AI HR assistant.
Structured onboarding checklists, first-week schedules, and new hire paperwork guidance to help employees ramp up smoothly and compliantly from day one.
Step-by-step offboarding processes covering final pay, equipment return, exit interviews, and knowledge transfer for voluntary departures.
Guidance on notice periods, severance calculations, documentation, and best practices for handling terminations lawfully and respectfully, tailored to your province's requirements.
Practical resources on managing unionized and non-unionized workplace relations, grievance handling, and maintaining a compliant, respectful workplace.
Plain-language breakdowns of every province's Employment Standards Act — hours of work, overtime, statutory holidays, leaves of absence, and minimum employment standards.
Guidance on workers' compensation obligations (WorkSafeBC, WSIB, and equivalents in every province), incident reporting, claims management, and building a workplace health and safety program that meets your province's requirements.
Templates and guidance for building fair, consistent, and legally sound hiring policies — from job postings through offer letters.
Frameworks for forecasting staffing needs, planning org structure, and aligning your workforce with business growth.
Templates and guidance for documenting performance issues, running Performance Improvement Plans, and building a fair, well-documented corrective action process.
The HR Resource Library is actively being built out and expanded. New documents are added regularly — logged-in users always see the latest version of every guide.
