Castle Rock Kennels

The Staff Agreement

The onboarding acknowledgement every team member reads and signs once — every new hire, and every current staff member as a one-time back-fill.

Staff Agreement & Onboarding Acknowledgement

2 pages US Letter Double-sided Signed with a pen

A plain two-page document that sets out what staff agree to when they join the team — care standards, safety, confidentiality, and conduct. It is not a liability waiver (BC law voids those for employees) — it's a clear, defensible onboarding acknowledgement. The signed copy is filed in each person's employment record.

Why an agreement — not a "staff waiver"

The plain-language comparison: what a liability waiver can't do for an employee, and what this document does instead. Good background for the owner conversation.
