When it comes to internationalization, there are several options open to companies: direct export, strategic partnerships, distribution, online sales, external growth or local presence. Each of these options has its own advantages and constraints, which need to be assessed according to your objectives, resources and development horizon.
Among these options, using an Employer of Record solution is a fast, responsive and alightweight option for rapidly offering a local contract to your strategic resources in Canada.
Employer of Record allows a foreign company with no Canadian legal structure to offer its Canadian-based employee(s) a Canadian employment contract and local remuneration.
Employer of Record is a solution that allows a company not established in Canada to rely on an existing local legal entity to hire its collaborators. In practice, the EOR provider places your local employee on its own payroll and invoices you for all related costs.
Your collaborator receives a salary and enjoys all the benefits of a local employment contract, while you are relieved of accounting and tax obligations and fixed costs (rent, administrative management, subsidiary setup and consolidation).
The employee benefits from the same rights as a conventional employee, particularly in terms of health, retirement and unemployment insurance.
The “portage” company handles all administrative and tax formalities, allowing the professional to concentrate on his or her core business. What’s more, the parent company doesn’t have to worry about the complexities of the Canadian system, which greatly simplifies the management of market presence.
This model offers great flexibility, ideal for testing the Canadian market without a long-term commitment. It allows the parent company to get up and running quickly, without having to immerse itself in the management of a subsidiary and the associated administrative challenges.
Some forms of remuneration, such as stock options, are not compatible with freelance administration.
Relocation to Canada implies a breach of the employment contract in the country of origin with the employer, but tailor-made solutions and agreements can be put in place.
In the absence of a Canadian subsidiary, the company is not eligible for certain local tax credits or subsidies.
While Employer of Record is not a solution to be favored for long-term strategies, it is ideal for short- and medium-term strategies, such as testing a market or establishing a local presence.
