BEFORE YOU HIRE
Bringing someone on? Build the foundation that works for both of you before they start.
Employee, contractor, or client: the Wizard maps every document you need and what it should say. Clear terms from day one — for you and for them.
THE STAKES
Most onboarding mistakes aren't discovered until it's too late.
A missing clause in an employment contract. A contractor agreement that doesn't survive a CRA audit. A client engagement that leaves scope undefined. The paperwork you skip on day one is the liability you pay for on day 365.
Before the first day
no employment contract or wrong classification
Before the first invoice
client engagement with undefined scope
Before the first dispute
IP assignment that doesn't actually assign IP
Before the audit
contractor arrangements that look like employment
Every one of these has a before. Signal lives there.
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps. Everything in place before they start.
01
Tell us who's joining.
Employee, contractor, or client. What they'll do, how they'll be compensated, and what you need from the relationship. About 5 minutes.
02
The Wizard maps what needs to be in place.
Every document, every clause, and what Ontario law says each one must include.
03
You get a tailored onboarding framework.
What to prepare, what each document should say, and what to keep on file before day one.
04
Lawyer review — optional.
If the situation is complex, a Signal lawyer reviews the framework before you use it.
THE WIZARD
Try it now.
Tell us who's joining and what the arrangement looks like. The Wizard maps what needs to be in place — so both sides start on clear terms.
