Failing to classify an employee who is exclusively dedicated to your company, and has tasks imposed by your organisation, constitutes as a breach of the Canadian employment law.

Misclassifying an employee in Canada can lead to significant fines, the obligation to pay outstanding holiday pay and social security contributions, and potentially the need to establish a local presence, as well as even legal action from the employee for breached employment rights.
