    Is it normal to request a piece of government ID from all staff upon hire? Or just a drivers license if they need to drive for the job.

    It is standard practice in Canada to usually ask for a SIN number and sometimes a form of ID from staff upon hire, but like you identified, the form of ID is usually dependent on the nature of the job – like if the person hired is not a citizen so you need to see a PR card or if they need to drive and provide proof of a certain type of license.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
