FAQs

How to hire employees in North America?

Hiring in North America depends on the country. Companies can establish a local entity or work with an Employer of Record (EOR) in the United States, Canada, or Mexico. An EOR allows foreign companies to hire locally without a local entity. It handles payroll, contracts, taxes, and legal compliance.

What is the minimum wage in North America?

Minimum wages vary by country and region. In the United States, it ranges from 7.25 to over 16 USD per hour depending on the state. In Canada, it ranges from CAD 15 to CAD 17 per hour (around 11 to 13 USD). In Mexico, the general minimum wage is MXN 374.89 per day (about 22 USD). Rates are updated regularly.

What are the employment laws in North America?

Employment laws vary by country and province or state. The workweek is typically 40 hours. Employees are generally entitled to paid leave, though rules differ. Canada and Mexico mandate vacation and public holidays, while the U.S. does not require paid time off by law. Maternity leave varies, and contracts are usually written. Termination requires proper notice and may involve severance.

How can a U.S. company pay employees in North America?

In the U.S., companies run payroll directly under federal and state laws. To pay employees in Canada or Mexico, a U.S. company can set up a local entity or use an EOR. EORs manage payroll and ensure tax compliance without needing a local setup. Third-party payroll providers are also an option.

How do I obtain a work permit in North America?

Each country has its own process. In the U.S., employers must sponsor workers through visa programs like H-1B. In Canada, employers may need a Labor Market Impact Assessment before the worker applies for a permit. In Mexico, companies must register with immigration and offer a contract before the employee applies for a work visa. Common requirements include a passport, job offer, qualifications, and medical or police clearances.
