Best less hassle way for both parties is to have them run your payroll through a Canadian payroll company who will do the payroll deductions and issue a T4 year end. Many U.S. Companies do this for their remote employees.

It looks like you're right - you can have a Professional Employer Organization act on behalf of the employer in regards to payroll, HR and other compliance matters:

Just don't try and pay employees without doing the proper paperwork with the Canadian government (or use a PEO to do it for you):

If an employer only has one or two Canadian employees though, they may want to go via the self-employed route I mentioned in an earlier reply.
