In a world that is increasingly becoming more global, why would you want to limit yourself to hiring just within the Canadian borders? While going across borders to get skilled workers can be a legal and logistical mess and will require you to learn a lot of things quickly, here is the good news: you can outsource this hiring process using an Employer of Record (EOR Canada)! An EOR pretty much takes on the legal bits and bobs that come with hiring for the enterprise that has employed them. Within Canada, EORs seem to be the way to do business in all sectors from e-commerce to technology and healthcare.
The handiness of EORs goes beyond just dealing with out-of-the-country hiring – startups or small to mid-size enterprises trying to scale up can benefit by using an EOR to maneuver through the complexities of local employment laws, payroll management, and compliance regulations. But how do you choose an EOR to match your business?
Picking a Canadian EOR: What to Keep in Mind
Deciding on an Employer of Record (EOR) in Canada should be a meticulous process to ensure it meets the unique requirements of your company. Since needs can vary greatly from business to business, it is imperative to review and contrast EOR providers in great detail. Establish your high-level objectives, whether that be compliance, payroll, or employee management, and then assess how EOR options check these boxes. Often, you can request preview or reference accounts to get a better feel of what they are capable of. By dedicating time to evaluation, businesses can find the EOR that is the best fit for their productivity goal and operational demands.
- Compliance with Canadian labor laws and regulations: The best place to start is looking at a potential EOR’s track record to make sure they have displayed a firm handle of the laws of the land.
- Services provided: Start by looking through what you need as a business then see if the EOR provides that. The basics an EOR must have are payroll management, employee benefits, insurance, and risk management.
- Technological capabilities: Their platform must be easy to use, super transparent, and get the job done without fuss.
- That price tag: Have a budget and find an EOR that can work within that budget and is transparent in their pricing mode.
