thanx A.I / Can I just reissue the contracts?

No — a new term needsfresh consideration.

In British Columbia, varying an existing employment agreement needs fresh consideration. Continuing to employ someone is not enough. So the fix is a schedule against your payroll calendar, not a mailout.

The rule

A contract change only binds if the employee gets something new for it. Handing an existing employee a corrected contract and asking them to sign, with nothing in return, does not make the new terms enforceable.

When the window opens

A new hire before their start date. A raise. A promotion. A bonus. A new benefit. Each is a moment where consideration is present and a corrected contract can be issued and stick.

Why it's a schedule

That is why the work repeats, and why the Holdings and Pre-sale tiers include a rollout plan: who moves onto corrected terms now, who waits for a raise, who needs consideration purchased, and in what order.

What not to do

Do not send everyone a new contract at once expecting it to bind. Start with a free review to see what needs fixing, then roll it out on the calendar.
