Hiring contractors in Canada can be a rollercoaster
Hiring contractors in Canada can be intimidating when you’re unfamiliar with Canada’s labor laws. You have to classify them correctly and choose the right type of contractor for your needs. Even though employers aren’t required to withhold and pay taxes for contractors in Canada, they have to submit TA4 slips to the contractors and TA4 summaries to the Canada Revenue Agency (plus additional tax forms for cross-border contractors or those in certain industries). It’s a lot to manage, but with Rippling, you can grow your global team quickly and compliantly.
