Building a Remote Team in Canada
Businesses can build a remote work hub in Canada using a global EOR provider like Justworks EOR without stepping foot in the country.
An EOR is responsible for local HR processes, such as:
Maintaining compliance with local employment laws and other regulations
Drafting employment contracts in the correct language
Managing payroll and taxes, including withholdings and deductions payments
Administering local benefits, such as private health insurance
Registering with the local social security system in the specific Canadian province, foreign tax authorities, and other government institutions
Offering support and navigating sticky situations, including terminations and severance (layoffs in the US are much different than layoffs in Canada)
On top of all that, Justworks EOR connects you with local experts who can offer insights to help you keep your business compliant.
