This planning tool is not legal, tax, payroll or financial advice. Confirm worker status and obligations for the actual arrangement.
Direct hiring can involve payroll deductions, employer contributions, vacation pay, insurance, overtime and other obligations depending on the arrangement. Review CRA guidance for employing a caregiver or domestic worker and seek professional advice where needed. We do not provide legal or tax advice.
