Canada is considered a stable, business-friendly, and economically advanced country, and it’s no surprise that many global organizations look north when expanding their operations. With 10 provinces and 3 territories, it’s also a country where payroll isn’t just federal; it’s highly regional. Employers must account for both federal programs—like the Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance—and provincial employment standards, which vary widely in areas like minimum wage, overtime, vacation pay, and benefits. Quebec, in particular, has its own pension plan, privacy laws, and even language legislation requiring that key employment materials be delivered in French.
In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we’re joined by ADP experts Jim Lord, President of ADP Canada, and Elvira Ciambella, Vice President of Business Innovation Transformation and Shared Services at ADP. Together, they unpack Canada’s regulatory web, complex collective bargaining agreements, and the potential of the country’s diverse workforce. We also speak to Keven, a computer science consultant for a software developer who recently moved to Montréal from Mississauga, Ontario. He describes the challenges of adapting to Quebec’s unique tax and social security system, as well as the cultural aspects of Canada’s second-most populous province.
