[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the mb from canada. thank you so much! this was very helpful. I will be contacting them this weekend. Im also interviewing with a few other families so I have a back up plan. 
I will be putting together something to send to my current MB. I hope we can work something out! 
Is it cheaper for them if i file as self employed but more expensive for me? Im wondering if they are aware of that[/quote]

Hi - You're welcome! Yes, it would be cheaper for them if you file as self employed versus as an employee as they would not have to pay the employer's share of EI and CPP, although it is not much anyway, at a salary for $500 gross a week the employer's share is $35 per week. However, if you are self employed you might have to charge them 13% sales tax (under a certain amount you don't have to charge it, and you might fall under that limit). And obviously it would be cheaper for them if you file as self employed versus being paid under the table as they can claim the tax break. I think that for you to file as self employed would not be more expensive for you versus being paid under the table but I'm not sure. Note that if you are self employed you would not be able to access EI if you were laid off, would not have CPP entitlement, etc. Also you would not be entitled to any of the benefits of being an employee such as paid vacation, paid public holidays etc. However, it would not be legal for you file as self employed, under employment law you are an employee if you care for children in their home, you cannot be self employed/a contractor in this situation. Being paid as an employee would result in less take home pay but you would have the protection and benefits of an employee under the law.[/quote]
