Document background
The MOU Between Employee And Employer is a preliminary document used in Canadian employment contexts when parties wish to document their basic understanding before entering into a formal employment agreement. This document is particularly useful during senior-level hiring, complex employment arrangements, or when specific terms need to be agreed upon before proceeding with formal documentation. While typically non-binding, it covers essential elements such as role description, basic compensation, and key expectations, all while adhering to Canadian employment standards and regulations. The MOU serves as a foundation for the subsequent employment contract and helps prevent misunderstandings by documenting initial agreements and intentions of both parties.
