What Is EOR, and How Can It Help Me Hire in Canada?

What Is an EOR?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is an HR outsourcing organization that hires employees on behalf of other companies and handles payroll, benefits, and HR. Unlike a PEO or payroll provider, the hiring of remote workers is totally outsourced. Employees are, on paper, employed by the EOR – while you manage your employees in their day-to-day responsibilities. With an EOR, there is no need to open a local entity or tax account, and no local taxes need to be filed. Canadian Payroll Services offers comprehensive Employer of Record and compliance support in every Canadian province and territory.

Canadian Employer of Record with Real Local Expertise

We’ve streamlined international hiring with a mix of easy-to-use employment tools, and highly qualified local experts who manage the hiring, onboarding and payroll process. We’ve automated the repetitive parts of international payroll but kept all the important ones in expert human hands.

Why Is Having a Local Canadian EOR So Important?

If you’re looking to hire workers in Canada, you deserve to be supported by experts, like an EOR. Choosing the right one, however, is crucial. While a global PEO or EOR organization might seem a good choice on paper, local organizations like Canadian Payroll Services often have the edge.

Hiring workers through a global PEO exponentially increases the touchpoints between you and your staff, which can lead to bungled procedures and complications. At CPS, we don’t want to control how you manage your staff, but rather empower you with our knowledge through information and resources. We handle the paperwork and administration so you can focus on managing your team, but we make sure you’re kept up to date with important information and relevant developments.

Canadian employment laws and regulations can vary by province, but our local expertise means we can assure full compliance wherever you’re hiring. Our expert team has a native understanding of different Canadian employment contexts and can support you to hire remote workers in Canada with no in-country obligations, and no need to set up a legal entity. You’ll be supported by a dedicated Account Manager who will get to know your business needs inside out, and will offer real, human support through the entire life cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Hiring Canadian Workers

Our Human Resources and Payroll managers are certified, experienced, experts in Canadian employment and payroll rules.

In short, you should hire an Employer of Record (EOR) to make your life easier. Third-party EORs handle HR and payroll administration for you, ensuring full compliance with local employment law, so you can focus your time and energy on growing your core business.

Hiring in Canada has a wealth of benefits: Canada’s workforce is highly educated and adaptable due to the size of the country, salary expectations are lower, and the different time zones across the country mean that you can hire Canadian workers to staff your business while your domestic team is off the clock. Find out more about the benefits of hiring remote workers in Canada.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is an employment outsourcing provider, allowing companies to hire in countries where they don’t have a legal entity or local subsidiary. Employer of Record companies process payroll, manage benefits, handle onboarding and offboarding, and provide human resources support along the way. EOR companies do not direct, manage, or assign workers, and they typically do not provide staffing services. EORs sometimes provide recruiting, HR consulting, legal and immigration advice, and other services.
Canadian PEOs are different from American PEOs in several ways. First, outside of the US the term PEO is used loosely to refer to everything from payroll outsourcing to employment outsourcing to employee leasing. Second, in Canada PEOs cannot be certified by the Canada Revenue Agency as American PEOs can be certified by the IRS. Canadian HR outsourcing companies and Employers of Record (EOR) are the closest match to US PEOs.
All EORs provide some HR outsourcing, usually limited to payroll, hiring and termination. Other HR functions, such as handbook creation, workforce planning, discipline, and training may be offered as additional services. Canadian Payroll Services provides a range of HR outsourcing services as an add-on to our Employer of Record solution.
