Free HR Documentation Gap Checker for Canadian Employers

The Canada Policy Manual Compliance Gap Checker is a free documentation-review tool. Answer a few questions about your workplace — jurisdiction, size, industry, and workplace type — and indicate which HR policy documents you already have in place. The checker returns a Documentation Readiness Score and highlights the HR policy documents that are commonly expected for a workplace like yours, each with a link to an official government reference.

This is a documentation-review tool only. It does not determine, certify, or confirm legal compliance, it does not produce a risk score, and it is not legal advice. Version 1 covers federally regulated workplaces and the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan; other provinces and territories return a "not yet available" notice while their rules are prepared, and Quebec is not supported. Use it to spot documentation gaps, then confirm specific obligations with the official source for your jurisdiction and a qualified professional.
