Employer of Record FAQs in Canada
What is an Employer of Record in Canada?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Canada is a third-party organization that becomes the legal employer of your workforce. The EOR manages all employment administration, payroll processing, federal and provincial tax compliance, CPP/EI contributions, workers’ compensation, and regulatory obligations while you maintain control over work assignments and daily management of your employees.
How quickly can I hire employees in Canada through an EOR?
With Asanify’s EOR services, you can onboard Canadian employees within 3-5 business days. We prepare employment contracts compliant with provincial standards, complete all necessary registrations, and manage payroll setup, eliminating the 3-4 month timeline typically required for entity establishment and multi-jurisdictional registration.
Can I hire employees in Quebec through an EOR?
Yes, Asanify supports hiring throughout Quebec with full compliance with provincial requirements including the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101), Quebec-specific employment standards, Revenu Québec tax administration, CNESST workers’ compensation, and Quebec Pension Plan contributions. We manage both French-language documentation requirements and provincial compliance obligations.
What are the employer costs beyond salary in Canada?
Canadian employers must budget for CPP contributions (matching employee contributions up to annual maximums), EI premiums (1.4 times employee contribution), provincial workers’ compensation, employer health tax (varies by province), and potential provincial payroll taxes. Asanify’s transparent pricing includes all statutory costs and compliance management in our service fee.
How does CPP and EI work with an EOR?
Asanify automatically calculates and deducts Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions and Employment Insurance (EI) premiums from employee pay, matching the employer portion as required. We remit all contributions to the CRA on the required schedule, manage annual maximums, and ensure accurate reporting on T4 slips.
What vacation and leave entitlements apply in Canada?
Vacation entitlements vary by province but typically start at 2 weeks (4% of earnings) annually, increasing to 3 weeks after five years in some provinces. Employees are also entitled to statutory holidays (9-11 depending on province), sick leave (varies by province), and family responsibility leave. Asanify manages all accruals, calculations, and payments according to applicable provincial standards.
Does using an EOR create permanent establishment risk in Canada?
When properly structured, an EOR arrangement reduces permanent establishment risk significantly. Asanify acts as the legal employer, manages the employment relationship, and maintains appropriate documentation to minimize PE exposure. However, given Canada’s complex tax treaties and provincial considerations, we recommend consulting tax advisors regarding your specific business activities.
How does workers' compensation work across provinces?
Each Canadian province and territory operates its own workers’ compensation system with different registration requirements, premium rates, and classification codes. Asanify manages registration with all applicable provincial boards (WSIB, WorkSafeBC, CNESST, WCB, etc.), calculates premiums based on industry classification and payroll, and handles all reporting and remittance obligations.
What are the termination requirements in Canada?
Termination notice requirements vary by province and length of service, typically ranging from 1-8 weeks. Some provinces also require termination pay or severance pay for longer-service employees. Asanify ensures all terminations comply with applicable provincial employment standards, including proper notice, final pay with vacation payout, ROE issuance, and documentation that meets legal requirements.
