Managing human resources in co-ownerships is a challenge from both a financial and management point of view; flexible working hours, the possibility of working from home and other work-life balance measures are all factors to be taken into account. Unless the directors carry out the housekeeping of the common portions themselves, the syndicate of co-owners will have to employ people such as a janitor, man maintenance, a doorman, a security guard, etc. It should be noted that the possibility of recruiting one of the co-owners is not excluded but can prove to be a complex and delicate situation to manage; this will not be the ideal solution.
It is the last condition that makes all the difference between an employee and an independent contractor.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ! When choosing a new employee, it's essential to assess the co-ownership's needs and draw up a clear job description; it's important to identify both technical skills such as qualifications and experience as well as behavioral skills such as autonomy and the ability to synthesize information.
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND: The board of directors or manager should evaluate an employee's performance some time after he or she has been hired, the objective being to avoid unpleasant surprises.
WARNING! An employee with two years of uninterrupted service in the same company who believes he or she has been dismissed without just and sufficient cause may submit his or her complaint in writing to the Labor standards, equity, health and safety Commission (Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail) (CNESST) within 45 days of his or her dismissal.
