    Hello,
    Is it possible to have an employee start working without an issued Social insurance number? If so when do employers request employees to apply for a SIN number? Is there a specific timeframe, such as within the first week of employment?

    Here you go. This comes from Alan McEwan, our payroll guru.
    Yes, employers don’t actually require an employee to have a SIN on hire.
    Within 3 days of hire, employees have to provide their SIN to the employer.
    Within 6 days of hire, if the employer has not received a SIN, that fact has to reported to Service Canada.
