Plan an employee’s first 90 days, from offer acceptance to the end of probation.
You’ll follow a fictional 12-person Ontario landscaping company, Fallowmere Landscaping, as it onboards its latest crew member, and you’ll build your own plan alongside it, one short lesson and one fillable Word worksheet at a time. Covers every province and territory except Quebec, plus federally regulated employers. No HR team needed. Created by the Standardize It team.
6 short lessons with fillable Word worksheets and print-and-write PDFs, about 75 minutes in total. Ongoing access to the course after purchase. Also included in Pro and Team memberships.
