Hire with confidence using an employment contract built for Alberta's Employment Standards Code. Includes mandatory ESC clauses, termination provisions, and protections that generic templates miss.
Alberta ESC-compliant termination and notice provisions

Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses (Alberta law considerations)
Remote work and hybrid work arrangements
Intellectual property assignment clauses

Generic "Canadian" templates from LawDepot don't account for Alberta's unique employment laws. Our employment contract includes:
Termination notice periods that comply with Alberta's ESC minimums (1 week to 8 weeks based on tenure)
No statutory severance pay requirement in Alberta (unlike Ontario)
Vacation entitlement language (2 weeks minimum after 1 year, 3 weeks after 5 years)
General holiday pay provisions (9 general holidays in Alberta)
Overtime rules for non-exempt employees (8 hours/day or 44 hours/week threshold)
Pregnancy and parental leave protections under Alberta ESC
Compassionate care leave and other Alberta-specific leave entitlements
Alberta's Employment Standards Code has unique requirements. For example, Alberta does NOT require statutory severance pay (unlike Ontario), has 9 general holidays (vs 10 in BC), and has specific overtime thresholds (8 hours/day OR 44 hours/week). Generic templates often include unnecessary Ontario-specific clauses or miss Alberta's unique provisions.
Yes. Our Alberta employment contracts are reviewed quarterly by employment lawyers licensed in Alberta and updated weekly to reflect new case law and ESC amendments. We include all mandatory provisions and use language that Alberta courts consistently uphold.
Absolutely. If your employee works in Alberta (even remotely for an out-of-province company), Alberta employment law applies. Our contract includes remote work clauses and ensures ESC compliance regardless of where your company is based.

We build province-specific contracts with proper termination clauses (no unnecessary severance provisions), correct general holiday counts, and overtime rules that match Alberta law. Plus, no subscription—pay once, own forever.
