We help you run background checks in compliance with local regulations, so you don’t have to hope for the best. Identity, education, employment history, criminal records, and credit reports.

We can help you make employee onboarding effortless by managing all equipment provisioning (via third party). We also have ties with multiple co-working spaces to boost employee productivity.
The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Pension
CPP and QPP contributions are capped annually, CAD $3,754.45 for CPP and CAD $4,038.40 for QPP. Benefits include retirement income, disability, and survivor support.
Workers’ Compensation
Most provinces require employers in certain industries to register for workers’ compensation. Premiums vary by province and cover injuries, lost wages, and rehabilitation.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Employment Standards
Employment laws differ by province, covering wages, hours, leave, and termination. We can help you operate in line with both federal and provincial rules.
Worker classification & penalties
Misclassification can trigger back wages, benefits, and penalties with 10–20% interest. We can help classify workers correctly and reduce risks.
Record-Keeping
Payroll and employment records must be retained for at least three years. Some provinces, like Ontario, require vacation records for up to five years.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Vacation entitlements in Canada increase with length of service:
- After 1 year: at least 2 weeks’ vacation and 4% vacation pay
- After 5 years: at least 3 weeks’ vacation and 6% vacation pay
- After 10 years: at least 4 weeks’ vacation and 8% vacation pay
Provincial regulations may provide additional requirements, and employers must follow the rules applicable in the employee’s jurisdiction.
Sick leave
Entitlements range from 2 paid days in Québec to 10 paid days federally. Some provinces offer only unpaid job-protected leave for illness.
Maternity & parental leave
Maternity leave is 15–19 weeks, depending on the province; parental leave can be up to 69 weeks combined. Our EOR can help you track them.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. Let us help you handle it better!
Notice periods
Statutory notice ranges from one to eight weeks based on tenure and province. Common law notice can extend significantly for long-service employees.
Final pay & records
Final wages must be paid by the next scheduled payday. Employers must issue the Record of Employment and pay any accrued vacation.
Severance pay
Employers must provide severance pay to employees who have completed at least 12 consecutive months of continuous service and whose employment ends due to layoff or dismissal. The entitlement is the greater of: Two days’ wages at the regular rate for each full year of service, or five days’ wages at the regular rate.
In addition, employers are required to provide either notice of termination or pay in lieu of notice.
