We would like to hire a student who does not have a SIN. Should we ask her to get one? Or is there a way to pay her without SIN?

Hi JoyA,

 

It's great to see that you are looking for ways to make sure your employees are paid and entered into your books correctly. I can help point you in the right direction here.

 

QuickBooks Desktop and the Payroll add-on are great tools for managing books. For something like this though it's best to contact the CRA to see what the practice is for situations like this and make sure the information is entered correct way. You can reach out to them by following this link.

 

I suggest getting in touch with them before entering your employee in to make sure it is entered right.

 

Hope this helps.
