How does Fairly Payroll work (temp)?

Getting paid as an employee

Clinics may use Fairly Payroll to pay temps as employees. When a shift or role requires payroll, you’ll be guided through the necessary steps in the app.

Payroll Shifts for Temps

If a shift requires payroll:

  • You’ll see that the shift requires Fairly Payroll

  • You must complete payroll onboarding in the app before applying

  • You’ll provide required personal and tax information

Even if you’re incorporated, you may still need to be paid as an employee. You should consult your tax advisor if you have questions about your situation. The CRA requires temps to be treated as employees.

Getting Paid as a Temp on Fairly Payroll

Fairly Payroll uses a standard pay schedule:

  • Work completed in one week is paid the following Friday

  • If the clinic approves hours the same day as the shift:

    • Pay stays on schedule

  • If approval is delayed:

    • Pay may be delayed accordingly

Paystubs, T4s, and ROEs

When paid through Fairly Payroll for Temps:

  • You can access your paystubs directly in the app

    • Click "Fairly Payroll"
    • Click "Forms"
  • You’ll receive a T4 at the end of the year

  • An ROE will be issued 30 days after your shift

All documents are organized for easy access.

Fairly Payroll for Team Members

If you’re invited to join a clinic as a team member (permanent staff):

  • You’ll be invited through the app

  • You’ll provide your information during onboarding

  • Once set up, you’ll be part of the clinic’s team

As a team member, you can:

  • Clock in and out from the team-side of the app

    • Clinics may implement geofencing, requiring you to be within 20 meters of the clinic to check in
  • Request time off

  • Access your paystubs anytime

If your clinic is on Fairly Payroll for Teams and you aren't currently temping with us, you can click "Team View" at the top left of the app and create a temp account with us. You can then manage temping and your permanent position from one app.
