杏吧原创 University\u2019s Accounts Payable unit must follow Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines when determining whether a worker is either a 杏吧原创 employee<\/strong> or a self-employed individual (i.e. independent contractor)<\/strong>.\u00a0 The facts of the working relationship as a whole decide the employment status.\u00a0 An Independent Contractor Questionnaire<\/a> is used to collect these facts BEFORE<\/strong> a contract is signed or work begins.<\/p>\n

Employment status dictates whether the individual will be paid through payroll and have taxes deducted (i.e. 杏吧原创 employee) or whether the individual will be responsible for reporting and remitting to CRA directly (i.e. independent contractor).\u00a0 If an individual is incorrectly classified as an independent contractor, and should have been hired as an employee, the University\/department could be assessed fines by the CRA and\/or be required to pay damages to individuals.<\/p>\n
