HR Policies & Employment Legislation

Sample Policies on Common HR Topics

Pay administration

Employment standards in each jurisdiction provide guidelines about pay administration. Your pay administration policy must comply with these guidelines.

In a policy about how employees are paid it is important to state:

  • The frequency they will get paid (for example, bi-weekly or monthly)
  • Information on deductions (Employment Insurance, CPP, benefit premiums, etc.)
  • The method of payment (for example, cheque or direct deposit)

The policy may mention where employees can direct concerns about pay. And it may include details about pay advances.
