Streamlining Workforce Compliance for a Construction Company
Client Type
Mid-size Alberta construction firm
Challenge
The company relied heavily on subcontractors, which led to inconsistent payroll reporting, CRA compliance concerns, and difficulties securing WCB clearance. Manual processes also delayed project billing and reconciliation.
Solution
Axis Workforce implemented an Employer of Record (EOR) arrangement, onboarding the client’s contractors under Axis payroll. We handled payroll processing, remittances, and compliance documentation while the client retained operational control.
Results
- Eliminated CRA misclassification risk for 20+ contractors
- Reduced payroll processing time by 75%
- Provided unified reporting and verified T4 income for all workers
- Improved project cash flow through consistent weekly payroll cycles
Helping Independent Contractors Build Financial Stability
Client Type
Self-employed drywall installer (sole proprietor)
Challenge
A skilled tradesperson wanted to buy a home but struggled to prove steady income. As a contractor, he had no T4, no benefits, and inconsistent pay periods.
Solution
The contractor began using Axis Workforce’s structured payroll solution for self-employed workers. We converted his income into T4 wages, managing CPP/EI remittances, WCB coverage, and providing regular pay stubs.
Results
- Built a verified income record, improving mortgage eligibility
- Qualified for Axis’s group health and dental benefits after three months
- Reduced bookkeeping workload by 90%
- Gained financial credibility with lenders while staying independent
Staffing Support for a Growing Developer
Client Type
Calgary-based general contractor
Challenge
Rapid growth created urgent hiring needs in framing and finishing trades. The company lacked the HR infrastructure to recruit, screen, and manage short-term hires during peak season.
Solution
Axis Workforce supplied staffing and placement services, sourcing skilled steel stud, drywall, and EIFS installers. Workers were onboarded under Axis’s payroll with WCB and liability coverage included.
Results
- 12 qualified workers placed within two weeks
- 100% compliance with WCB and OH&S standards
- 3 workers converted to full-time after initial placement
- No administrative burden on client HR or accounting teams
