Construction and trades
HR support for construction and trades businesses.
Crews change, projects start and stop, and the owner is usually on site. Your own HR professional keeps hiring, paperwork and people issues on track, without taking you off the job.
Free. 15 minutes. No pressure.
Pressure points
Where HR gets hard on the job.
Employee or contractor?
Workers are often engaged as subcontractors. We help you think through the difference and set up the right paperwork.
Seasonal hiring and layoffs
Ramping up in spring and slowing down in winter needs clear offers, notices and records.
Safety records and training
Policies, orientation records and sign-offs that show your crew was trained.
Crew conflict and discipline
Problems on site need a calm, documented response.
Overtime and pay questions
Hours, overtime and statutory holiday rules differ by province, and mistakes are costly.
Hiring fast
When you need hands quickly, a simple hiring and onboarding routine saves rework.
How we help
What your HR professional takes off your plate.
Which plan fits
Most trades teams choose Partner.
Partner gives you a named HR professional, with a backup, who knows your crew and handles onboarding, offboarding and policies. Very small teams with few hires sometimes start with Essentials. See every plan, and what each includes, on the plans page.
Common questions
Questions from construction and trades owners.
Can you help with hiring and layoffs for seasonal crews?
Yes. We help with offers, onboarding, notices and records. Recruitment is quoted separately for each active role, and we agree on it before we start.
Do you replace my safety program?
No. We help with the HR side, such as policies, training records and documentation. Your safety program and any required safety professionals stay in place.
Do you know the rules in my province?
We work with employers in BC, Alberta and Ontario, and your HR professional works within the rules where you operate. If a situation needs a lawyer, we will tell you.
