Frequently asked questions

What Canadian business owners ask us most often about PEOs, payroll outsourcing, and our referral process.

What is a PEO in Canada?

A Professional Employer Organization, or PEO, is a Canadian payroll and HR services provider that manages payroll, source deductions, tax remittance, and some HR functions on behalf of a client business. PEOs specialize in reducing administrative overhead and improving payroll accuracy.

What are the three types of PEO?

PEO arrangements in Canada generally fall into three types: administrative services (payroll and remittance only), co-employment arrangements (shared HR responsibilities), and full outsourced employment models. Our referral partner focuses on administrative services and co-employment arrangements for Canadian SMBs.

How much does a PEO charge per employee?

PEO pricing in Canada varies by provider and scope. Some PEOs charge a flat monthly fee per employee, others charge a percentage of payroll. We do not quote partner pricing on this site. Our referral partner will explain their pricing directly during the assessment.

What is the difference between HR outsourcing and a PEO?

HR outsourcing typically covers recruiting, training, and policy support without touching payroll. A PEO integrates payroll administration alongside HR functions and often takes on source deduction, remittance, and ROE filing responsibilities.

Do you service businesses in Quebec?

Not at this time. Our Canadian payroll partner does not operate under the Quebec provincial payroll regime. We serve businesses in every other Canadian province and territory.

How do you earn money if I am not paying you?

We are an independent referral agent. When you engage the Canadian payroll partner through our referral and become a client, we earn a recurring per-employee commission from the partner. You pay the partner for their payroll services at their published pricing. We are not a financial, tax, or legal advisor.

Do you share my information with anyone other than the payroll partner?

No. Your submitted information is used only to determine fit and connect you with our Canadian payroll partner. See our Privacy Policy for the full data handling disclosure.
