Employee vs. Subcontractor Checklist
Failing to properly classify your team members is one of the most expensive mistakes a business owner can make.
We’ve created The Employee vs. Subcontractor Checklist to help you confirm your subcontractors meet the latest CRA criteria before you issue your next payment. It’s a simple way to make sure your crew is set up correctly so you can get back to work.

Why use this checklist?
In the checklist we provide:
Clear Criteria: We’ve condensed complex CRA guidelines into six clear categories so you don't have to decode legal jargon.
Peace of Mind: Instead of guessing if you're compliant, you'll have a repeatable process to vet every new person you bring onto a job site.
Protect Your Profit: A single misclassification can cost you over $10,000 in back taxes and penalties per worker. This checklist is your first line of defense against a CRA ruling that eats into your margins.
