Document background
The Intercompany Assignment Agreement is essential for organizations operating multiple entities within Canada or internationally that need to temporarily transfer employees between related companies. This document is particularly crucial in today's business environment where workforce mobility and knowledge sharing between affiliated entities are common practices. The agreement ensures compliance with Canadian employment standards, tax laws, and immigration requirements while clearly defining the rights and obligations of all parties involved. It covers critical aspects such as employment continuity, compensation structures, benefit arrangements, and reporting relationships, protecting both the companies' interests and the employee's rights. This agreement is typically used for assignments lasting from several months to a few years and is structured to accommodate both domestic Canadian assignments and international secondments involving Canadian entities.
