Food establishment payroll and employee questions
Hello,
Background:
Let say I have a cafe. It's a foreign franchise and they require me to hire some staff from overseas. I will hire some local people as well and maybe some people on working holiday visa who can speak the language.
1) Do I need to register with WSIB?
2) My understanding is that payroll deductions (income tax, EI, CPP) are the same for residents and non-residents. Please confirm. Just to be proactive as I know this question will come up. Non-residents can also file a tax return and get a refund for taxes paid right?
3) My understanding is that I'm not required to provide insurance or benefits, whether I hire full time or part time, resident or non-resident. Correct?
4) I want to hire people part time, partly because I don't want to put my eggs with just a few staff. Is there a certain threshold for working hours whereby if I exceed, I have to incur additional costs or responsibilities? Like if I give 14 hours to one staff one week, and next month it gets busy and give him/her 40 hours, do I suddenly have to do something extra? Also, do I need to "designate" someone as part time or full time?
Many thanks!
