Michelle was super helpful
Michelle was quick to answer my call, no waiting time! I respectfully add that I appreciate that her first language is English. It's been a long time since a support person was that easy to understand.
She was knowledgeable and fun to work with.
She gave me ideas that I would not have otherwise thought of.
Peninsula - Health and Safety Implementation.
Peninsula supported our business with the implementation of their health and safety peogram. Very courteous, flexible and knowledgeable.
Biggest mistake signing up with them
Wrong advice given and different advice given depending on which HR person you speak to. I need help with firing someone, why am I getting different directions from 2 people on the HR team. I now don't know what to do and I am told I am stuck in this contract.
Read the fine print
Read the fine print. I was under the impression I was signing up for a 1 year contract. After about a year and a half, I called to cancel. They told me that after 1 year the contract auto renews for another year so I was unable to cancel. In addition to this, they raised the fee on me. So they auto-renewed for a full year with an increased fee. Use this company at your own financial risk.
Deceptive Renewal Practices
Deceptive Renewal Practices – Business Owners Beware
As a business owner, I would not recommend dealing with Peninsula. They rely on an automatic renewal clause buried in the contract and claim you must give 90 days’ notice. The only “reminder” I received simply said “Your renewal is coming up” — it did not mention the 90-day requirement or make clear that action was needed.
In my view, this is misleading and deceptive. Business owners deserve transparency and fair dealing, not tactics that lock you in without clear communication. Based on my experience, I would not deal with them.

Pene consistently provides clear, professional, and solution-oriented advice that gives us confidence in handling sensitive situations.

Pene is fantastic
Pene is fantastic. It was a conversation that I was able to be candid about my frustrations as an employer, Pene supported the decision I was wanting to make (while still being that voice on my shoulder of reason) and overall, it was a great experience.
Best experience so far, and .. I've had a few haha!
Thanks!

Buyer beware
Buyer beware! They had me sign through my cellphone (fine print was so small) I couldent get the time to make any appointments to set up anything. I reached out to opt out if the contract they told me its 30k to opt out. The biggest mistake of my life was sitting in a meeting with this company. If you value your money DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY. very unsatisfied and border line discusted with them.

Highly recommended
I was nervous and skeptical at the time of signing up due to the long commitment. One year later, I can confidently say it was one of the best business decisions we've made. Their support is available 24/7, their advice is professional and on point, and it's a very cost-effective HR solution. Peninsula is an essential service for small businesses. - Highly recommended.

Working with Peninsula Canada’s F2F…
Working with Peninsula Canada’s F2F services has been a game-changer for our business. From the very first consultation, their professionalism, depth of knowledge, and genuine care for our success stood out. The on-site expert was not only well-versed in HR and health & safety compliance, but also took the time to understand the unique needs of our organization.
What impressed us most was how hands-on and practical the service was. We didn’t just get advice—we got actionable solutions tailored specifically to our workplace. The consultant walked us through everything, from updating our documentation to implementing best practices with clarity and confidence. Their presence on-site made a huge difference; it felt like having a trusted partner right there with us.
Thank you Peninsula!!!!
