All of the essential information required to oversee a Payroll in Canada

Canada has federal and provincial taxes as well as variations in provinces for other payments, types of leave and deductions. Quebec has its own regulations for many aspects of payroll. Plus there are different tax tables to be used based on the different types of payment which many people won’t be used to. All of this can make payroll in Canada appear to be quite complicated at first.

In addition there are a range of social insurances and a wide range of types of family leave with different qualifying rules, some may incur payments and others may only give employees the right to time off.

Having attended this on-line course delegates will have confidence that they understand the fundamentals of payroll processing in Canada, are clear about employer obligations, know what they need to do on a periodic and annual basis, can answer employee queries and check payslips.

Even if payrolls are outsourced it is still the employers responsibility to ensure all obligations are met and that income tax and social security are correctly processed. This course not only gives you the information you need to be compliant but also ensures you know exactly what information should be given to a payroll provider and the various tasks they should be completing on your behalf.
