Why Compliance Matters

The CRA requires temps to be treated and paid as employees, not contractors.

For clinics, that can add complexity and risk if payroll is handled manually or across multiple systems. Fairly eliminates this risk by automating the classification and payment process.

For Temps

Seamless Payroll for Every Shift

Fairly Payroll for Temps is designed for every shift you fill through the platform. Keep everything in one place.

Temps Treated As Employees

Pay temps as employees in line with CRA rules, instead of treating them as contractors. Minimize your audit risk.

Automatic Calculations & Remittances

We calculate, withhold and remit source deductions and taxes to the CRA automatically, paying temps the net amount.

Connected to Booked Shifts

Payroll is tied directly to the shifts you book in Fairly. No juggling separate systems or manual exports.

You remain the employer of record, but our platform handles the heavy lifting with the click of a button.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about compliant dental payroll.

How do I pay a temporary dental hygienist legally?
According to the CRA, temporary dental hygienists and dental assistants must be classified as employees, not independent contractors. This means you must withhold and remit CPP, EI, and income tax. Fairly Payroll automates this entire process for you directly within the app.
Do I need to issue a T4 or ROE for a dental temp?
Yes. Because they are legally classified as your employees, you are required to issue them a T4 at tax time and an ROE (Record of Employment) when they stop picking up shifts at your clinic. Fairly Payroll generates and files these documents automatically on your behalf.
Does Fairly Payroll work for my permanent clinic staff?
Absolutely. With Fairly Payroll for Teams, you can use our dental payroll software to pay your permanent staff (receptionists, full-time RDAs/RDHs) alongside your temps. Staff get access to a modern self-serve app to track their time and view paystubs.
