Hire with confidence using an employment contract built for Quebec's Labour Standards Act and Charter of the French Language. Includes mandatory provisions, French language compliance, and protections that generic templates miss.
Quebec Labour Standards Act compliance
Charter of the French Language (Bill 101) considerations
Termination notice and indemnity provisions
Vacation and statutory holiday provisions specific to Quebec
Non-compete clauses (Quebec Civil Code Article 2089 compliance)
Remote work and hybrid work arrangements
Intellectual property assignment clauses
Probationary period terms (LSA-compliant)
Generic "Canadian" templates from LawDepot don't account for Quebec's unique employment laws. Our employment contract includes:
Termination notice periods that comply with Quebec's Labour Standards Act
Indemnity in lieu of notice calculations (Quebec-specific)
Vacation entitlement language (2 weeks minimum, 3 weeks after 3 years—earlier than other provinces)
Statutory holiday pay provisions (8 statutory holidays in Quebec)
Overtime rules (40 hours/week threshold, different from other provinces)
French language requirements for employment documents (Bill 101 compliance)
Quebec Civil Code considerations for non-compete clauses (must be reasonable in scope and duration)
Yes, if you have employees in Quebec. Quebec's Charter of the French Language (Bill 101) requires employment contracts to be in French. You can also provide an English version, but the French version must be available. Our Quebec template is designed to be easily translated or provided bilingually.
Yes, but Quebec has stricter rules than other provinces. Under Quebec Civil Code Article 2089, non-compete clauses must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area. Quebec courts scrutinize these clauses more heavily. Our template includes properly scoped language that balances employer protection with Quebec's employee-friendly approach.
Quebec has fundamentally different employment law. Quebec uses the Civil Code (not common law like other provinces), has unique vacation rules (3 weeks after 3 years vs 5 years elsewhere), different overtime thresholds (40 hours/week), and French language requirements. Using an Ontario template in Quebec creates serious legal risks.
