Hello guys,
I'm currently full-time and all the "contract" hiring type is new for me.

Could please anyone help me with:

2- How do you pay CPP, and all the other expenses that company discount from your salary when you're full-time?
3- is it legal that company requires a mandatory schedule, when you're in "contract"?

This is for a Business Analyst position.
Thanks!

Does level and/or office matter for referrals at McKinsey & Company?
