Nanny Payroll & Compliance
Pay Your Nanny,
Without the Stress
When you hire a nanny, Canadian law makes you an employer, which comes with real payroll obligations to the CRA. Intra manages all of these requirements for you, so you stay compliant, protected, and free to focus on your family.
When You Hire a Nanny,
You Become an Employer
Depending on how much you pay your nanny or household employee, you may be required to withhold employment taxes from their wages. Mismanaging this process can lead to a CRA audit, back taxes, interest charges, and penalties, which often arrive as an expensive surprise at T4 time.
Intra takes that risk off your plate entirely. We manage your household payroll from start to finish. This keeps you compliant with the CRA and your other employer obligations, while saving you the hours you would rather spend with your family.
Everything Handled,
From Start to Finish
Our nanny payroll service covers the complete picture:
- Gathering the required paperwork
- Tracking hours worked
- Calculating wages and hours
- Deducting income tax, CPP, and EI
- Remitting payroll deductions to the CRA
- Issuing pay statements and maintaining records
- Preparing year-end documents, including T4 slips
- Managing WSIB obligations where applicable
Whether your nanny is full-time, part-time, live-in, or live-out, the service works exactly the same way. Everything is done correctly, on time, every single pay period.
Protection for Your Family
and Your Home
The value of this service goes beyond completing paperwork. Proper payroll and WSIB coverage protect you legally and financially. If an issue ever arises, our insurance support is there to back you up. Intra is a fully licensed platform, meaning you can trust that everything behind the scenes is being handled properly and professionally.
Optional Benefits for Long-Term Nannies
If your nanny is a long-term part of your family's life, you can choose to offer them access to a professional benefits program through Intra. This option is entirely voluntary, and it offers a meaningful way to support the person who supports your family every day.
