Real answers from a real Canadian team. No marketplace runaround, no "global" fluff.
Great question, and honestly, it's where we stand apart. Wages isn't a global marketplace trying to cover every country, we're built specifically for Canada. That means when you work with us, you're supported by a human-centered team of real Canadian Account Managers, Payroll Specialists, Risk Advisors and local employment law experts.
We don't subcontract or hand your business off to third parties. You're working directly with a team that understands Canadian compliance inside and out. With a dedicated account manager you will speak with when you need assistance and connections you will know by name, we are here to help and want to be your support. We are accountable for getting it right!
If Canada is your priority, depth matters more than reach. Many global EOR providers promote coverage in 100+ countries, but that often comes at the cost of local expertise.
We focus on doing one thing exceptionally well: helping companies complete the hire and management of employees in Canada, properly, compliantly, and efficiently. If Canada is where you're growing, you want a partner who lives and works in that reality every day. We are focused on risk assessment and compliance and you are in good hands with us.
Both, and we've structured our services intentionally for each. Direct employers rely on us for compliance, payroll, and HR support. Staffing firms, on the other hand, get additional support like invoicing, collections, payroll funding options, and even branding on documentation.
We understand the operational differences, and choose to remain flexible, we don't force a one-size-fits-all model.
Yes! That's exactly what we're here for. We act as the legal employer on paper, handling employment contracts, payroll, tax remittances, and compliance, while you manage the employee's day-to-day work.
It allows you to hire in Canada quickly, without the cost and complexity of setting up a business entity.
We take care of all of it, behind the scenes. That includes calculating deductions, remitting taxes, managing contributions like CPP and EI, and issuing T4s.
Canada's payroll system is detailed and varies by province, especially in Québec, so having this handled properly isn't just helpful, it's critical. We make sure nothing is missed!
Yes, we support hiring across all Canadian provinces. Each province has its own employment standards, tax requirements, and compliance rules. Québec, in particular, has additional layers.
Our team works within those differences every day, so you don't have to figure it out yourself! You can count on us.
Typically within one to two weeks. We don't promise unrealistic "instant onboarding," but we do move quickly and efficiently, while making sure everything is done correctly. This is what sets us apart!
You'll also get access to our platform and tools right away, including our free applicant tracking system!
It's straightforward and guided. You create an account, submit your new hire details, and we step in with compliance guidance, contracts, and setup.
We handle the paperwork and back-end processes so your employee is ready to start without delays or confusion.
Yes, we do. We support health benefits, deductions, reporting, and group plans as part of our overall service.
We're not just payroll, we're supporting the full employee experience.
Absolutely! We will help you choose the right structure. In Canada, classification matters. It's not just about what you call someone, it's about how the work is actually performed.
We'll guide you on whether an employee or contractor model makes sense and ensure it's set up properly.
We look at the real working relationship and not just the contract. Canadian authorities assess factors like control, independence, and financial risk. If something isn't structured correctly, it can lead to penalties.
We help you get it right from the start, so you avoid those issues altogether.
Yes, with a bit of context. Our payroll and HR platform pricing is clearly published. For Employer of Record services, pricing is customized based on your needs as every customer is unique!
Wages Canada prefers to be as flexible and accommodating as we possibly can. That way, you're getting something tailored and not a generic flat rate that doesn't reflect your situation.
We support both English and French environments, including Québec. If bilingual service is a key requirement for you, we can walk through exactly what that looks like for your team to make sure expectations are aligned.
We combine technology with real human support. You'll have access to tools like a free applicant tracking system, payroll visibility, employee self-service, time & attendance, reporting, and compliance tracking, all in one place.
But more importantly, you'll also have a real team behind it to guide you.
Absolutely. This is especially important for staffing firms. We can support branded documentation, invoices, and communications so your business remains front and center, while we handle the back end.
We take both seriously. We use secure systems, encryption, and controlled access to protect sensitive data, and we follow Canadian privacy expectations.
On the support side, we focus on being responsive and accessible, with real people available to help when you need it.
