Under the employer of record model, InfraDev becomes the legal employer of the person you choose in Canada and handles payroll, tax, and compliance, while you keep control of the work itself: hiring decisions, day-to-day management, projects, and termination.
You interview, evaluate, and choose the Canadian professional you want to hire.
InfraDev signs the employment contract as employer of record and takes on the employer obligations.
The employee works for you and reports to you; we handle the employment administration.
Payroll, CPP, EI and income tax remittances, T4 slips, benefits, and employment standards.
Salary, employer contributions, and our service fee on one monthly invoice.
You keep operational control. We carry the employment.
No Canadian corporation, CRA registration, payroll accounts, or provincial setup on your side.
Hires start in 24–48 hours instead of after the 3–6 months it takes to form an entity.
As the legal employer, we carry Canadian employment and tax compliance obligations.
No entity formation costs ($5,000–$15,000+) or in-house compliance function.
Add or remove employees without managing a Canadian entity.
One monthly invoice: salary, employer contributions, and service fee.
Common questions about how the employer-of-record model works.
You own all intellectual property created by the employee. The employment contract includes IP assignment clauses that ensure all work product, code, designs, and innovations belong to you, not to InfraDev or the employee.
Yes, termination decisions are yours. When you decide to end the employment relationship, we handle the termination paperwork, notice requirements, severance calculations (if applicable), ROE generation, and final payments according to Canadian employment law.
As the employer of record, InfraDev carries the Canadian employer obligations: CRA matters, employment standards, and other regulatory requirements fall to us as the legal employer, and we handle them.
The EOR model creates a genuine employment relationship, with benefits eligibility and employment protections. Contractors are self-employed, which limits how much you can direct their work and creates misclassification risk if they work like employees. See employee vs contractor.
The employment contract can include exclusivity clauses if you want the employee to work exclusively for you. Alternatively, if you're comfortable with them working for other clients, we can structure the contract accordingly. You decide the terms.
You can transition from EOR to your own Canadian entity at any time. We'll help facilitate the transition and transfer employment relationships. Many companies start with EOR to test the market, then form their own entity once they've established a larger presence. See EOR vs Canadian entity.
Yes. InfraDev has office space in Beaconsfield, Québec, available up to five days a week, and access to systems or data can be limited to our office where your security requirements call for it. See Host your hire.
