Document background
The Addendum To Employment Contract is essential when employers need to modify existing employment terms without creating an entirely new employment agreement. This document is commonly used in Canadian workplaces when there are changes to an employee's role, compensation, benefits, work location, or other employment terms. It must align with both federal and provincial employment standards, including the Canada Labour Code for federally regulated industries or provincial employment standards legislation. The addendum serves as a formal record of agreed changes while confirming that all unmodified terms from the original employment agreement remain in effect. It's particularly important in situations involving promotions, organizational restructuring, or workplace policy updates, ensuring all changes are properly documented and legally enforceable.
