🇨🇦 Canada · Employment & Labor
Hiring rules, employment contracts, payroll, social insurance, and EOR options.
Most employment standards are set provincially; federally-regulated sectors follow the Canada Labour Code. Employment and Social Development Canada oversees the federal framework.
- Minimum wage, hours and leave are mostly governed by each province or territory.
- Federally-regulated industries (e.g. banking, telecom, interprovincial transport) follow the Canada Labour Code.
- Employers register for payroll deductions through the CRA.
