La taille de l'entreprise se calcule en fonction de l'unité moyenne de main-d'œuvre (UMM). Les UMM se calculent en divisant la masse salariale annuelle (déclarée à Revenu Canada par l'entremise du système T4) pour chaque province où une entreprise est en exploitation par une estimation appropriée de la rémunération annuelle moyenne fondée sur les données de l'enquête sur l'emploi, la rémunération et les heures de travail (EERH) de la Division du travail de Statistique Canada, pour la même branche d'activité (code à trois chiffres) et la même province. La taille des entreprises est ensuite calculée en fonction du nombre d'UMM. 2, record 2, French, - unit%C3%A9%20moyenne%20de%20main%2Dd%27%26oelig%3Buvre
