Document background
The International Employment Agreement is essential for organizations engaging in cross-border employment relationships where Canadian law governs the employment relationship. This document is typically used when hiring foreign workers into Canadian operations, or when Canadian companies hire employees to work remotely from other countries. The agreement ensures compliance with Canadian employment standards while addressing international considerations such as immigration status, cross-border taxation, social security arrangements, and benefit provisions. It includes specific clauses for work permits, international payroll processing, and jurisdictional considerations, making it suitable for multinational organizations, Canadian companies expanding globally, or foreign companies establishing a presence in Canada. The agreement is structured to protect both employer and employee interests while maintaining compliance with Canadian federal and provincial employment laws, as well as relevant international legal obligations.
