Canada profile
People2.0 combines international workforce infrastructure with the Canadian employment experience of The Payroll Edge, an acquired business that has helped companies hire and pay workers in Canada since the late 1990s. The Payroll Edge began in back-office services for staffing businesses and developed into a Canadian EOR and HR operation. That background is particularly relevant to recruiters and companies that already have a candidate in mind: the local team takes on employment administration, payroll and benefits while the client continues to direct the work.
The Canadian operation includes People2.0 Workforce Services Canada, ULC, the name adopted by The Staffing Edge ULC in 2021. The Payroll Edge publishes its office at 7685 Hurontario Street, sixth floor, Brampton, ON L6W 0B4. Its Canadian specialists connect employment contracts, tax deductions and employee support with the wider People2.0 network, allowing a client to start with Canadian hiring and use the group for other markets later. The service also separates employee EOR arrangements from contractor AOR engagements, helping businesses choose the appropriate model for each worker.
