Looking to hire employees in Canada? Usually, when employing Canadian workers, you need to establish a local entity and research local employment laws depending on which of the 10 provinces or 3 territories you want to operate in.
However, there is an easier way. The use of an Employer of Record in Canada will help ensure your payroll needs are met while receiving guidance on employment compliance every step of the way!
Thinking of Expanding Business to Canada?
That’s great! Expanding a business to Canada can offer many benefits and opportunities for growth. Here’s why!
-
Canada is the world's 10th largest economy and has a stable economic environment, making it an attractive location for businesses looking to expand. Additionally, Canada has a highly educated workforce and a business-friendly environment that can help businesses succeed.
-
One of the main benefits of expanding to Canada is access to a large and diverse market. With a population of over 37 million people, Canada offers a significant customer base for businesses to tap into. Additionally, Canada has a diverse population with a wide range of cultural backgrounds and languages, making it an ideal location for businesses that want to expand their reach and appeal to a broader audience.
-
Another benefit of expanding business to Canada is its proximity to the United States. Many businesses choose to expand to Canada because it offers a convenient location for accessing the US market.
-
Canada also has a strong legal system, a low crime rate, and a favourable tax environment, making it an attractive location for businesses looking to establish a presence in a new market. The Canadian government is committed to creating a business-friendly environment, with policies that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship.
Five Reasons to Use an Employer of Record in Canada
An EOR will help facilitate the employment of employees in Canada, handling the compliance responsibilities associated with onboarding and managing the payroll processing and benefits of employees.
Here are five reasons why a business should use an Employer of Record in Canada:
1) Employment compliance
The legal requirements for onboarding and managing employees in Canada can be complex and time-consuming. An EOR in Canada can handle these legal requirements, such as payroll, taxes, employment standards, and benefits, ensuring that your business is in compliance with these regulations.
With an EOR, businesses can rest assured that their employees are classified and paid correctly, and that all necessary taxes and deductions are being handled in accordance with Canadian laws. This allows businesses to focus on their core competencies and operations without worrying about the complexities of employment laws and regulations.
2) Flexibility to hire employees anywhere in Canada
By using PGC as your Employer of Record in Canada, your business can hire employees on a short-term or project basis without committing to long-term contracts. With the flexibility of an EOR, you can easily scale your workforce up or down as needed, avoiding the cost and complexity of onboarding and terminating employees on your own. This can be particularly useful if your business has fluctuating staffing needs.
So whether you want to hire one employee in Kitchener or a whole team in Québec, rest assured that PGC has you covered.
3) An outsourced HR service for your Canadian employees
When it comes to administrative human resources, you don’t need a Canadian HR support team – PGC’s HR team becomes yours. As your employer of record, we look after your workers like our own. Your Canadian employee has:
Employment onboarding and offboarding sorted within 24 hours.
HR guidance for any questions they have on onboarding, payroll, worker documents, HR issues, and more.
Their own North American based relationship manager for employment queries, available from 9.00am - 9.30pm EST Monday - Thursday, and 9am-6pm Friday.
Communication to keep them in loop on holiday arrangements and changes in labour laws.
4) One transparent, affordable, monthly fee. That’s it.
