Are You Hiring Independent Contractors or Employees?
For many employers, hiring staff as independent contractors can seem like a logical way to meet resourcing requirements without the costs and expectations of a long-term commitment that are associated with permanent employees. However, although you may think you’ve hired a contractor, the CRA may not agree. You may also run afoul of the Alberta Employment Standards Code should the Courts deem your staff to be employees, not contractors. Unfortunately, there can be a heavy financial cost to employers in these circumstances.
