employee within three days of commencing the employment contract, or
terminated employment.
The Social Insurance Number should be kept confidential and only used
in communicating employee information to the government.
If the Social Insurance Number starts with the number 9 then it is a
temporary number. The employer need to know the expiry date and if
the employee cannot provide a permanent number, or evidence of expiry
extension then the employment contract needs to be terminated by the
expiry date.

as well as accounting, human resources and management.

Revenue Agency, Revenue Quebec, provincial/territorial agencies,
courts, unions, pension administrators, group benefit insurance carriers,
charities and any other party for which there are deductions from the
employees’ wages.
Suggested Exercises:
1-1 The seven criteria should be discussed with the class, depending on what
personal information the instructor is willing to share. In most situations
the instructor will be an employee.
1-2 The different criteria used in Quebec should be compared to the Canada
Revenue Agency. Discussions should lead to students to understand that
the differences are more semantic than substantive and either set of
criteria will likely lead to the same determination.
1-3 The exercise is expected to entice a variety of different opinions to be
expressed as to why each industry is of the “national interest”.
Responses will vary by class.
