Question....is this a contractor or an employee? Does this individual work only for your company or for different companies? If only for you, this would be an employee and go through payroll. You can find an explanation for this on the CRA website. If though a contractor, you would set up as a vendor. Are you in the construction business and required to report on T5018 forms for your contractors? If so, when you set up the contractor vendor file, select the T5018 reporting option and it will run out your reporting at the end of the year. If the contractor is over the $30,000 threshold they will have a GST number, if not, you must fill in their social insurance number so it will print on the T5018. You can do this in Sage 50 Premium. You do need to make sure that the contractor is carrying their own WorkSafe (WCB) and if they are not, you will need to pay this on their behalf. You will pay for only the hours and not for any equipment supplied or materials supplied. I am not sure what province you are in so you will have to check the WCB rules and make notes for yourself in the pop-up menu boxes to remind yourself to add this to your quarterly remittance.

Does this help?
