Canadian Employer of Record Case Study
BACKGROUND
HILCO Vision is a global eyeware and eye care company with headquarters in the United States and divisions throughout the world. In 2005, the company opened a distribution center in Montreal, Canada.
PROBLEM
When Hilco opened its distribution center, they used a payroll company that did not provide advice about HR. They did not ensure that Hilco was in compliance with Canadian HR laws. Shortly after establishing the facility, Corinne Flynn, Director of HR for Hilco, saw a webinar presented by HR Options that presented a detailed overview about doing business in Canada from an HR perspective. Corinne began to worry about the company’s lack of expertise in Canadian HR. Could Hilco be at risk of violating Canadian laws? “I thought, Wow – there were a lot of problems we could face,” Corinne said. “I was concerned that what we didn’t know might come back at us.
SOLUTION
Corinne spoke with Kathryn Benson, Sr. Human Resources Consultant at HR Options to learn what Hilco could do to mitigate its risk. “The first thing I did was to guide Corinne through a check list of everything she needed to do to have legally compliant HR in Canada,” Kat said. Corinne engaged HR Options for EOR (Employer of Record) for all of their Canadian employees. EOR (Employer of Record) includes assuming full responsibility as employer of record in Canada and managing all HR functions, including payroll. Corinne realized that it was more efficient for HR Options to handle HR rather than developing the expertise to handle HR for its Canadian operations in-house. HR Options delivers the following as part of its complete Employer of Record:
“For everything they have taken off our plate, the value is unbelievable. I don’t have to worry about HR for our Canadian employees.”
– Corinne Flynn
RESULTS
“All of Hilco’s Canadian employees are in full compliance with Canadian federal and provincial laws,” said Kathryn. “No matter how small or large our client’s Canadian team is, we use HR best practices 100% of the time.”
“I don’t have to worry about HR for our Canadian employees. That is huge. HR Options handles everything,” Corinne said. “All of the people in our Canadian operation feel really good about how we work with HR Options.
